    This is insightful but I'd underscore the generational difference -- especially crucial since it's the younger voters who Clinton had a hard time mobilizing and Biden needs to do better with.https://twitter.com/AsteadWesley/status/1263848959132471297 …

    I'd say biden is actually the rare white Democrat who doesn't overthink his black outreach. It leads to some real cringe with activists and younger black voters but is part of the Uncle Joe authenticity with older ones https://twitter.com/MichaelRWear/status/1263848120502431751 …

        Maaaaaybe. The younger voters are very active and assertive online, but to date have largely not come out to vote.

        They came out in 2008 and 2012 but not in 2016. You might want to ponder what that means.

        If Biden wins 65+ it doesn’t matter what his enthusiasm with younger voters is

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        The counter to your point is Hillary had 30 years on conspiracy weighing her down and the young ppl seemed to know about most of the conspiracies. Biden for all his flaws, and they are considerable, doesn't have that baggage.

        have you... seen what young people say about him? i actually think biden is a stronger candidate overall than hillary, but the “senile/braindead conservative sexual predator” narrative is quite strong among the young of all political stripes lol

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I think the idea that Biden will attract new voters himself is basically foolish. He cannot win so much as Trump can lose. Easily the worst candidate for the presidency the Democrats have offered in decades.
