18-24 year olds didn’t show up for Bernie in 2015 or 2019. They aren’t coming this time. Their enthusiasm always get way overestimated.

The Democratic Party hasn’t known what to do since the 2016 election…at least
The Democrats have won nationally in 2018, 2020, arguably 2022, and like 85% of special elections since 2016. What the fuck are you talking about? They’ve been basically non-stop winning elections since 2016.
Your own source contradicts this claim…doesn’t look like we forgot about anything.

bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•"We're never gonna let that happen again": Trump's RNC speech confirms plans for a Big Lie 2.021·1 year agoI agreed with you until a few weeks ago. The momentum is clearly in Harris‘s direction now. Appreciate the moral support - we seriously need it
bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•"We're never gonna let that happen again": Trump's RNC speech confirms plans for a Big Lie 2.032·1 year agoSure I definitely think that is their strategy, plus there have been a lot of reputable reports saying that they likely extracted a lot of support/concessions from the party by sticking behind Biden over the last few months. My point isn’t what the reasoning is necessarily, but more that they are all electing not to run for various reasons.
bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•"We're never gonna let that happen again": Trump's RNC speech confirms plans for a Big Lie 2.032·1 year agoAOC and the progressive wing hitched their cart to Biden and expressed zero interest in the presidency so that’s out. They were the single group keeping him in the race when it comes to party support.
Newsom has clearly tested the waters (both 2020 and 2024) and both times backed off for whatever reason, so he’s not interested in putting himself forward this time it seems.
All of this is to say this illustrates my larger point. We can’t say “they are keeping someone from running“ when no one is willing to come forward. Early in the primary sure that was a valid claim, but now? When the voice for him to step down is so loud? If somebody wants it, now is the time. So if they’re not stepping forward, that’s not the establishment. That’s their choice.

bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•"We're never gonna let that happen again": Trump's RNC speech confirms plans for a Big Lie 2.04·1 year agoDon’t bother trying to reason with people who don’t lift a finger for anything socially or politically important for 3.5 years then just show up in the final inning for the general election to complain about how they aren’t represented at all and don’t like any candidates. They’re children going “it’s my money and I want it NOW!” with whatever nebulous political outcomes they want.
I also think millennials/gen X need to not demand Gen Z bail us out, especially since a substantial portion can’t even vote yet.
