You're misunderstanding my argument.

I'm not saying voter suppression isn't a thing, or that it's "fine."

What I'm saying is that's one of the things this whole revolution is supposed to change, and revolution is not easy. It's never easy. That doesn't mean things are rigged. It's something you've got to fight for. People are allowed to decide that it's not a fight they can afford to take part in, and that's fine. But then the revolution is going to fail if everybody decides that. That's the risk involved.

I'm reading that Hillary won TX over Bernie by 32, not 60. So yes, she did a lot better but not like Link to Alucard better.

I said in points. As in, 0.5% percentage shifts in a 1v1. If we look at pure head to head difference Biden annd Bernie went 53-47 in TX.

In North Carolina, 13% of Tuesdays electorate were young voters, compared to 16% four years ago. Of those, 57% went for Sanders in 2020 compared to 69% in 2016.

In South Carolina, young voters made up 11% of the electorate Tuesday compared to 15% in 2016. Sanders won 43% of those voters Tuesday compared to 54% four years ago.

In Virginia, young voters comprised 13% of Tuesdays vote compared to 16% in 2016. Sanders won 57% of those voters Tuesday compared to 69% four years ago.

Now this is an issue that is a bit more gross.

Also I have been hearing "just wait for the old voters to die" literally since 2000.

Progressive whinos will be saying the same thing about millennials in 40 years. People vote more conservative as they get older, regardless of generation.

Let's not forget that boomers were RADICALLY left in the 1960s (where they bitched about nothing getting done due to old voters too).

There is but outreach and education are key here. I lived in Texas since 2013 and, as a member of that coveted 18-30 demo, didn't know it had such a robust early voting system until Beto's campaign spread awareness in 2018.

Our election system is shit!
I've cast exactly one vote on Election Day ever iirc and I've voted at least once every year since 2012.

You're totally right though, if you don't actually visit an early polling location or watch local news specifically when they're running a segment on it, early voting is not well-publicised.

Voter suppression absolutely is an issue and Texas is god awful about it, but that's thanks to Republican leadership.

And you can't claim "I support a revolution" if you won't be willing to risk things for it. It's not really a revolution if you can only support it at your convenience.

Some are vote Biden because Trump has kids in cages, but the vast majority are saying fuck it.

This is just...an incredibly privileged post.

Dude, between posts like this, you speaking for the black community, and the condescension in like everything you post about Biden, you are like that stereotype of the Liberal elite who knows whats better for everyone else right now.

Im not asking you to reassess your whole worldview or anything, but I hope you can see that and learn to empathize with us again.

I mean that will never happen but just running the same ads every other politician was showing about being on good terms with Obama (including both fucking Bloomberg and the mysterious Warren superpac) seems like a PR slam dunk when a major complaint about Bernie is that he is too anti-establishment for normie dems.

They had video of Obama saying Bernie's slogan and sat on it! How did they let this happen.

he shouldn't be giving up, no. way too early for that.
VP pick maybe.
if nothing else, just a realignment for his voter base that you guys seem to think are a bunch of lazy bums who won't wait in line to vote, won't vote early (either in the day when lines don't exist or days before), and get disheartened so easily that they need papa sanders to come by to tell them to not be children and get their shit together if they want to do something.

Biden works because most people don't actually pay attention to him at all, nobody who actually follows the man thinks he's any good. He truly is the definition of "generic Democrat candidate" in polls, to the point where he'd have a better chance of beating Trump of his name was literally not on the ballot.
