    A core democratic voting constituency

    Y’all keep saying that and then turning out at an underperformance of your share of the national population, nevermind the easy dominating share you could have in the party if y’all would fucking vote!

    Like seriously, Bernie would have been the nominee both times if y’all would have stopped talking about how you’re the base and actually acted as a party base!

      Some of these campuses are important for purple states. The youth vote in California isn’t horribly important. But the youth vote in Virginia is both important and extant.

      Okay tbf they’re both a core democratic constituency and criminally underperforming. Young voters where a major factor in Hillary’s failure in 2016 and Biden’s success in 2020. And now they’ll be a major factor in his failure in 2024.
