Marlboro's didn't lead us to Fascist takeover and destruction of American democracy. All young Democrats had to do was show up to vote, even after Trump had ripped away safe federally protected Abortions, and they simply could not be bothered. The jokes write themselves.
Are you blaming the youngs for the state of the state of America?
THEY DIDN'T FUCKING VOTE. You know who did, young republicans, and more latino and arab americans than have ever voted for a republican candidate in us history before, and they voted for Trump. yeah, i kinda am. free, fair, safe, elections, and Democrat youth couldn't be bothered to cast a fucking vote. 2.3% made up the difference between saving american democracy and losing it all.
Don't blame them, it took a lot more than just their votes to lose the election. Blame Harris' terrible campaign that thought fundraising was more important than standing up for people's interests. She endorsed fracking while we had the hottest year on record, focused on attracting moderate Republicans, didn't have a policy platform with any focus on worker or consumer rights, and neglected to campaign in multiple states. Concerts with celebrities and mega corporate donors just looks like more of the same thing the Republicans like to do.
She ran a bad campaign, and proof of that is the post-election spike in Google searches for "is Biden running for president". Trump managed to mobilize young rebuplicans, as you have a stated, so why aren't you talking about Harris' inability to motivate a block of 10 million Democrat voters of all ages.
This will keep happening until the DNC realizes they can't also be the party of corporate America and have the People's consent to govern.
