Young voters played a critical role in delivering Joe Biden to the White House in 2020. But as his reelection campaign kicks off, leading activists are uneasy about vouching for the president and concerned the administration could squander years of momentum
In 2020, Biden’s campaign aggressively courted younger, progressive voters as part of a strategy to fire up the grassroots and bridge the divisions that roiled the party in the run-up to Donald Trump’s election in 2016.
More than three years later, though, the relationship between the White House and young organizers is at a crossroads. The president and congressional Democrats have delivered on many notable promises but fallen short on others – a frustrating reality that has contributed to Biden’s plunging approval ratings with 18- to 29-year-olds.
The administration’s recent decision to approve a controversial Alaskan drilling project outraged young climate activists whose work on the last campaign was vital in establishing trust – and even excitement – about a Biden presidency. The White House pushed back, arguing that its legal options were constrained because the project had already been greenlit by the Trump administration. But the controversy has contributed to a resurfacing of old suspicions across aligned youth voter groups. Their leaders expressed concerns that Biden and senior aides appear increasingly determined to own the political center, even at the cost of alienating this increasingly powerful voting bloc. Young voters have turned out in record numbers in recent elections and proven their mettle as organizers by establishing a vast web of interconnected groups, with focuses on climate, immigration, gun violence, student debt, health care, LGBTQ rights and more.

Gen-Z Puke: “Brandon’s not destroying America nearly FAST enough!”
The Zeros want a trashed America and they want it now. Oh yeah. They also want a sh*tload of pepperoni pizza delivered to them out by the pool.

Gen-Zeroes my ass. They are the Young Cannibals Generation. Eating America alive as Bidenskyyy and his turd rollers continues to deliver it to their doors.
Even GenZidiots need to eat sometimes, need transportation bigger than a bicycle, and have need for clean underwear. It just might take them longer to recognize that the stinkin’ world they live in is an own smell.
Poor gen zzzzz, they thought Bidung was going to force everybody else to pay for their useless degrees in advanced buttfudgery studies
This I think are one of the bigger problems. Who is funding a 20 year old to run for a school board position? The left has been very sly in fielding left-wing candidates into local elections and there doesn't seem to be a strong response from the right.
Even if the Democrat loses, it's still a platform for them to inject their poisonous worldview and nudge the needle a little left. Without a strong counter-balance, the voters tend to drift leftward.
Let’s start with these mindless “Iwants” with the loud mouths still haven’t been made to understand that they are only a FRACTION of the Whole of society and the only reason most Americans even entertain their petulant rants and “Iwants” is because most Americans seem to think that if you give the squeaky wheel a little grease it will stop squeaking. A good mechanic will give a squeaking wheel a little grease at first but when that wheel won’t stop squeaking...it’s time to replace it. And THAT. My friends, is the only way the squeaky “Iwants” will finally be silenced. The choice is up to you.
“Better than Trump” to these Gen Z idiots is not doing anything more or better, but only telling them what they want to hear. I’ll be happy to take their SS payroll contributions in 5-10 years.
“Gen-Z activists”
Reminds me of how the youth in Germany rushed out to join the Hitler Youth movement and ended up: “How the Hitler Youth Turned a Generation of Kids Into Nazis”.
That worked out good didn’t it?
who would you prefer to see as a candidate for the local school board? A 20-year old Democrat, or a tuna sandwich?
Tt’s better than Trump
A Marxist would say
Well, it is one way to identify the Aholes.
Fen Z voted for a chomo. Shame on them.
