      I don't think we need to analyze the psychology of voters when it's simpler to note that there are persuadable voters who lean Biden and don't like Trump but need some more enticement. It's Biden's job to win them over.

      I don't think media personalities drive the election, voters do. I think a Biden loss would be a disaster for left. I'd like to think the Democrats are competent (certainly the Obama team in 2008/12 was) but failure to appeal to young voters in 2016 & now is dismaying

          You aren’t addressing whether you would feel personally vindicated if Biden lost

          So Matt thinks Trump can win because media figures publicly express concern that the Democrats might be inept? What if they are inept though? Is it the media’s fault for pointing that out?

          What I never see in these proclamations about young voters is the fact that Trump isn't exactly dominating the 18-24 demographic, either. Given that young voters rarely turn out, it seems very reasonable for Biden to go after moderate voters. Appears to be working.

          Millennials now make up a larger segment of US population than Boomers.

          On other hand, while Biden could all the voters he can, there is pretty good evidence he marginally improves on Clinton amongst WWC voters in MI and PA and center right soccer moms in AZ - and these voters have more leverage in the EC than young voters

          here's the thing Jeet: how would a Biden victory be anything other than a disaster for the left?

          Media personalities have a huge effect, but it's a matter of which groups and which personalities. Older voters pay a lot of attention to outlets like the NYT and MSNBC / CNN. Younger voters respond to a much wider ecosystem of podcasters, writers, YouTube people etc.
