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.
No one on the planet is overwhelming supporting him. The only question if if Trump is scarier. There is no sane reason why DNC won’t put forward a better candidate. Why would Biden cling to power and senility instead of bowing out for health reasons. It’s Ruth Bader all over again.
There are extremely good reasons for the DNC to go with Biden: he has already beaten Trump once, and incumbents tend to do well
Barely. With the awfulness that was Trump’s presidency still happening. The voters have ridiculously short memories and Biden’s main campaign strategy of running as “not the other guy” isn’t anywhere near as effective for an incumbent as for a challenger.
By insisting on Biden, the DNC is dramatically increasing the risk of losing the election and thereby making it the last one.
Most incumbents don’t consistently back the genocidal actions of Israel.
Little bit different
Trump backs Israel too. It’s either going to be Biden or Trump. So if that’s your criterion, you’ve already lost.
It doesn’t have to be!
Instead of fighting against those of us who want a different president, why not support us.
You have given up already, so how are you going to judge me if I give up next year?
The primaries are still an option.
I will gladly take literally any bet you like that, barring actual death, Joe Biden will be the DNC nominee. Find an escrow and name whatever bet you like.
Oh I agree, everyone is too scared too run anyone else because “trump”.
God forbid that everyone who is telling me he’s not that bad, and think about trump.
Fuck that, if we run Biden and end up with trump it is purely what we deserve.
All of them do and have since Israel was established. One party just does it harder than the other while in power.
So maybe it’s time we change it
Welp, when my daughter is pressed into service as a brood mare for the Theocratic American State after we lost our right to vote in the 2028 election, I’ll be sure to salute you for your heroic refusal to support genocide in Gaza (which was nuked in ‘26 btw)
You could join me in fighting against it
Pretty much all presidents have unconditionally supported Israel, actually.
Maybe it is time to change that.
Straight talk, the war is coming, and I would rather be the one to fight in it rather than my children.
Let’s just get it done and over with, cut off the festering limb, and start healing.
