Arkancide.
Sorry, Joe.

Unfortunately for Democrats, new evidence seems to suggest the Biden electability argument might be severely flawed. Not only is Biden facing immense pressure from an army of angry Bernie acolytes over a sexual assault claim, but recent polling also suggests support for Biden among young voters – a key demographic for Democrats – might be much weaker than anyone realized.
According to an extensive survey by the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government released in late April, only 34 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 say they have a favorable view of the former vice president, with just 8 percent saying they have a “very favorable” opinion of Biden. In the same survey, 47 percent of young people said they have an unfavorable view of Biden.
Although the percentage of young people who said they have an unfavorable view of President Trump was much higher (63 percent), the percent who said they have a favorable opinion of Trump was only four percentage points lower (30 percent) than Biden’s. And, quite interestingly, more young people said they have a “very favorable” view of Trump, 14 percent.
Even worse for Biden, when asked if they would rather vote for Trump, Biden or an independent candidate in 2020, only 39 percent said they would choose Biden. One-quarter chose Trump, and a whopping 16 percent said they would rather pick an independent.
For perspective, only 3 percent of voters aged 18 to 29 voted for an independent in 2012. Even in the highly contentious 2016 election, just 8 percent of young people chose an independent candidate, with the overwhelming majority choosing Hillary Clinton.
One thing is abundantly clear: Biden has a massive voter enthusiasm problem, one that could prove to be fatal for his chances of winning.

“Come on Man”, Joe is not going to be on the ballot in Nov, he is just a placeholder.
Nominate a senile, creepy, old career politician and find that the younger voters aren’t energized?!
Who the heck would have guessed that?
Shockingly, young people don’t want to vote for a 77 year old dementia patient. Trump, while not much younger, has the vigor of a man 20 years younger and talks more in tune with today’s youth than their own parents.
It’s Biden or Bernie.
Until early voting starts, I guess I’m just going to have to put up with all the Cankles, Mooch, Cuomo, and Mark Cuban nonsense.
WE gotta keep Biden alive until he gets the nomination!
Joe has a problem with Democrat voters in general.
The “Enthusiasm Gap”.
The Democrats painted themselves into a corner this time. They pushed out Commie Bernie for this increasingly frail and addled dementia patient. And he has the delegates for the nomination. If the keep him, they’re screwed. If they replace him it will be in some smoky backroom deal (typical for Democrats historically) AFTER having shafted Commie Bernie. The autistic screechers in their base aren’t going to be stable about this. Extra hockey helmets, restraints, and diapers will be needed.
Arkancide.
Sorry, Joe.
No problem he will soon announce free college for all to shore up that voting block.
People with brains or people not being paid by the DNC.
Come on, Man.. Come On... what Malarkey.
A favorite saying for Joe....”Come on Man”!
Not me, the sunglasses are not enough to attract the young folks. They are about as jazzed up for Biden as they are for doing house chores.
Running Blocker is what we used to call it.
