Young voters overwhelmingly say they would support President Biden over former President Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up if the 2024 presidential election were held today, according to a poll released Wednesday.

In the Economist/YouGov poll — conducted via web-based interviews Dec. 16-18 — more than half (53 percent) of registered voters under 30 said they would support Biden, and less than a quarter (24 percent) said they would support Trump.

Another 10 percent said they would support another candidate, 4 percent said they were not sure, and 9 percent said they wouldn’t vote.

    Sanders being elected would not have resulted in us getting single payer healthcare, changed every long-term military alliance we had with others, eliminated the military industrial complex, nor canceled all student loans.

    That doesn’t justify anyone voting for Biden over Bernie or the other options in the 2020 primaries.

        Clinton was president 30 years ago and Biden is to the right of Clinton. Three decades of reasonable adulting has pushed us towards fascism.

        Anyway, what would you say to the people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries? Are you willing to call them out for being selfish pieces of shit?

          Umm…got any sources for these claims?

          And also what’s the answer? To waste your vote on someone who has no chance in a first past the pole system? To whine on the Internet?

          Ah you answered my last question: the answer is for everyone to get bigly angry on the Internet at people who didn’t want Bernie. That’ll solve it. 🤷
