His targetted advertising was horrible, his ads featured armies of young people and weren't particularly representative of the voting electorate. His focus was entirely on the young voting block, he surrounded himself with them. There was very little outreach made to the old, he had policies for them laid out but rarely if ever made them a focus. He literally went after Joe Biden for a month about Social Security and how he would strengthen it while Joe has advocated for cutting it several times in his career. Coupled with M4A including hearing aids and glasses, if those aren't "Hey, old people, vote for me" positions, then I've gotta spend more time at Bingo nights with my nana. The youth turnout was the X-factor for a general election because they rarely vote. After seeing voter disenfranchisement to the tune of reduced polling locations in specifically young and minority-heavy counties, it would seem turnout wasn't so much the issue as was systemic disenfranchisement.
