in states that have voted thus far. You can keep saying it, but thus far it's not true. Facts, pesky facts.

so they can not vote in the primaries, I know a few, most of them are, and the ones who are not did not go out to vote in the primaries anyway.

Lets hope they turn out to vote in the general election, it is up to the Biden campaign (if he does win the nomination) to make plans to excite those young people and bring them to vote, if Biden wins then it is his and his campaign's responsibility to do that.

the Biden campaign must make a plan to increase youth turnout. The young overwhelmingly disapprove of Trump. If they come out to vote, this November will be a landslide.

Turnout is up significantly, and they're turning out for Joe, not Bernie.

We've been hearing similar claims about Sanders for five years now. They have yet to materialize. If the claims were true, Sanders would have done better in 2016 and he would be doing better now.

quite awhile ago. IMO he's a self-serving blowhard who just likes to rile people up, and not in a good way. Like I said, that's my opinion and I know many people don't share that opinion, so save the condemnation.
