Youth-led progressive organizations have warned for months that Biden had a problem with young voters, pleading with the president to work more closely with them to refocus on the issues most important to younger generations or risk losing their votes. With Biden out of the race, many of these young leaders are now hoping Harris can overcome his faltering support among Gen Z and harness a new explosion of energy among young voters.

And people said I was sabotaging democracy / helping Trump when I asked for a better candidate.

Sadly, the two-party system sometimes means there’s no way to do good without also undermining it.

I hope first-past-the-post is replaced with a better voting system soon.

I’m not sure what “youth led groups” they are referring to because damn near every one I’ve seen says genocide is a dealbreaker.

Is Harris even supporting the genocide? From what I’ve read, she’s at least no Biden, and certainly no Trump.

While she is better than Biden, her condemnation of student protestors still rubbed lots of gen Z the wrong way, myself included. It won’t stop me from voting, but it does dispel the delusion that Kamala is anything more than another corporate liberal.

What condemnations were you concerned with? Most of her statements seem to have been generally non-committal on policy but supportive of protest. The only big negative statement I’m aware of recently was about the protest with “Hamas is coming” graffiti. Which like, yeah, that’s something that a politician should condemn. I feel kind of weird about her saying burning flags is super wrong, but I’m not that bothered by it.

Assuming dissenting opinions are all bots isn’t a good path forwards. Some people will disagree with you. Some with me. But on matters of opinion. Also who the hell would bother to bot this niche site/fediverse.

We just need one paparazzi photo of Taylor Swift wearing a Harris 2024 shirt and it’s a done deal.

Harris/Swift would be a done deal, and she would turn 35 before inauguration day.

Swift is too smart to take that job. She’d be taking a huge pay cut.
