Young Democrats warn Biden he must quickly change course
The Hill ^ | 05/03/24 | AMIE PARNES

Young Democratic voters are sounding the alarm and warning President Biden that his reelection bid could be in jeopardy if he doesn’t change course on the issues that matter most to them, including the war in Gaza.

While they have soured on Biden on a range of issues from cost of living to climate issues, the rash of protests at college campuses around the country has been the latest point of contention with the president.

“He will lose the election if he decides to roll the dice and assumes that Gaza isn’t at the top of minds right now,” said Elise Joshi, the executive director of Gen-Z for Change —which was once run under the name TikTok for Biden.

Joshi added that the last six months have seen “an increasing pace of concern” about the president.

The crisis in Gaza has been a tipping point for many young voters, and some polls have shown support dissolving for Biden.

Last month, a Harvard Youth Poll showed Biden’s support from voters ages 18-29 had slipped from about 60 percent in 2020 down to 45 percent.

A CNN poll last weekend also revealed that Biden was 11 percentage points behind Trump in a head-to-head match-up among young voters.

Some say Biden isn’t addressing some of the issues that matter most to young voters.

They may be at the point that they can’t do the fraud in Michigan.

The economy
The foreign policy

There are no good answers for Biden right now.

They may find enough ballots to re-elect him, but as far as honest elections go, this guy is toast.

Dozens of youths shared their biggest concerns at the ballot box with NPR. Here’s what they said:

Dawson Crisman (23, urban planner, Chicago, Ill.) “When my parents were 23, they owned a home. And I feel like Gen Z has just been completely blocked out of homeownership.”

Kati Yau (24, therapist and actor, Skokie, Ill.) “I’m trying to pay my loans off, but it’s insurmountable.”

Jonathan Boer (26, technical design engineer, Chicago, Ill.) “Lowering the taxes, reducing regulations, doing a lot more manufacturing in America, that would be the best thing for the economy.”

Issy Kagan (20, student, Bronxville, N.Y.) “Student debt relief is great, but what about ensuring we have a planet to leave behind?”

Ryan Kachnowski (22, student, Wixom, Mich.) “We desperately need mass transit investment and high-speed rail if we want to become more sustainable and combat climate change.”

Sarah McCall (27, nonprofit associate, Washington, D.C.) “I want to see stricter gun control, I want to see [the] banning of assault rifles.”


From NPR. Gaza is not on the list...................+

They should vote for RFK-jr. He is more their kind (a committed zealot).

The leaders, including the Squad, are Muslims.

But young democrats are woke, a lot of them are LGBTQ, liberal white women, emasculated white men.

Young Democratic voter issues:
1. Killing babies
2. Killing Jews
3. Letting the third world into the USA
4. Climate hoax

They should all take up Iran’s offer of a free university education. And stay there.

Mr. Biden, don’t listen to those young whippersnappers. Continue doing what you have been doing. Seem to support Hamas one day, and Israel the next. Issue confusing and contradictory statements. Make up all sorts of crazy stories. Alienate everyone.

It’s your path to victory this November.

Sure, the most privilaged brats on the planet know exactly what the answer is for a 6000 year old war. Please follow their advice.

Single-issue voters, that is for sure, But for Biden to give wholehearted support to the Gaza jihadists, that means a trade-off of LOSS of much American Jewish support, at least a good part of it. There are probably enough anti-Zionist Jews among the crowds protesting in favor of the Gaza jihadists to be a noticeable demographic in the ideological balance sheet the Democrat Socialists maintain on all minority groups throughout the US, but those are hemorrhaging numbers too.

If Gaza is their number one issue, they are more stupid than I thought.

He needs to quickly change his diapers as well, but that isn’t happening either.

It’s time for another drubbing like Carter got in 1980.
