    These young voters live in different cities, work different jobs and have varying political beliefs. But among the things they have in common: They voted for Joe Biden in 2020 — and now say the president can’t count on their support in 2024.

    “I genuinely could not live with myself if I voted for someone who’s made the decisions that Biden has,” said McKenzie, a 23-year-old working at Starbucks and as a union organizer in Madison, Wisconsin. “I didn’t even feel great about" voting for Biden back in 2020, he said.

      Well, enjoy living under a dictator. You can enjoy your lack of freedom with a clear conscience.

        Y’all’be been saying that or similar since at least ‘03.

        You need new scare tactics. Or, maybe, stop ignoring over half the base. But details. Yes. Keep blaming us for everything…

          And since 03 or earlier, conservatives in America have been consolidating their power to achieve what they have now. Supreme Court dominance enough to undue decades and decades of progress. But yes, pretend these people weren’t right all along. This time, you can safely vote third party , or stay home, probably nothing bad will happen.

            You ever consider that perhaps people are and have been paying attention, which is why they won’t vote Left this time? ¬¬

      Voting isn’t supposed to make you feel good. You’re not supposed to be satisfied with your decision. It’s going to suck and continue to suck until you die.

      Kids these days…
