YoBuckStopsHereBiden confronts a 'pissed-off generation' of young voters who may be decisive in 2024
Aniki 🌱🌿Biden has done absolutely nothing to improve my QOL.
This is not an endorsement of the GOP.
Frank J. ZamboniIs that really the fault of Biden though? His first two years were held hostage by Manchin and Sinema and now he no longer has a majority in the house. The president can only sign bills into law not make them out of thin air. I am not a huge Biden fan as I think he is too old to lead but I think he has done ok under the conditions he has.
Semi-Hemi-DemigodIt’s not his fault, but it explains why people don’t think voting will help.
That attitude is why Rowe v. Wade is gone now. The Parties are NOT the same!!!
Agreed that the bOtH sIdEs argument is utter bullshit.
However, Roe was never actually codified into law because it was a reliable rallying cry for Democratic politicians. Put another way: Democrats never seriously pushed to make Roe an actual law because it was politically beneficial to the party in elections.
Democratic politicians have bleated about protecting abortion rights for decades, but simultaneously completely ignored actually protecting abortion rights with laws.
Democrats never push to do anything that upsets the status quo. They are cowards. And any democrat who does push that agenda, is labeled some sort of extremist socialist nutjob.
This is why so many of us are outraged.
Channel your outrage in a way other than voting for a party making things worse. I get you want progress but the options are very very slow progress or regression…don’t vote for regression.

If the best we can do is very slow progress it's no wonder people don't think voting is effective
Short of revolution voting is all we have. I understand apathy. I was like that in my 20’s…but I can promise that the right can and will make things worse.
If anything, I'm more apathetic now than when I was in my 20s. I know the right wing will make things worse, but if the left wing doesn't make things better then we're still backsliding. Just slower.
the issue is our progress is so slow and our problems are mounting so fast, that it basically seems like we are back sliding... and we are
there is no productive way to channel it. everyone who is in office and running for office is 100% about maintaining the status quo because it benefits the top 10% to the detriment of everyone else in USA society.
Gen Z + Millennials = 142 Million
Gen X + Boomers = 134 Million
The youth of this country has been conned into thinking they have no power. Boomers don’t want you to vote.
People are outraged because laws and public opinion have a statistical correlation of 0, unless you sample exclusively from the very top of the socioeconomic strata. That’s a very reasonable thing to be irate about in a country that’s ostensibly a democracy.
