Joe Biden was hardly the darling of the youth vote during the Democratic primaries. From the Iowa caucuses through the March 17 primaries, he won just 22 percent of the votes among those younger than 45 years old and far less among those aged 18-24. But despite his low levels of initial support and ongoing reports of a lack of enthusiasm for his candidacy, polls now show the former vice president boasting a 20+ point lead over Pres. Donald Trump among young voters. It’s little wonder why. Millennials (born 1981 to 1996) and Generation Z (born after 1996) identify or lean heavily toward the Democratic Party and solidly reject the presidency of Donald Trump, the politics of Trumpism, and the direction the county is headed.
Zoomers (a nickname for members of Gen Z) and Millennials now make up 10% and almost 30% of eligible voters in the American electorate, respectively, which potentially could make them kingmakers in the 2020 elections. Younger voters historically have a habit of not showing up to the polls. But youth-led activism in response to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and resistance to Trump spurred a 16-point bump in turnout among this cohort between the 2014 and 2018 midterms, which suggests turnout may be higher this November as well. And the nationwide upheaval of protest sparked by the murder of George Floyd, which has been led by young activists (and particularly young African Americans), may also drive new voters to the polls.
A youth-led wave election may not only deny the president a second term, but also allow Democrats to regain majority control of the Senate.

Well, I’ll be curious to see if states and municipalities will be able to cover their pension and related financial obligations. Because that good number of people are going to be in a rather sorry state of affairs when those sorts of things start collapsing and go bankrupt.
Mant old Republicans were young democrats. Few old Democrats were young Republicans
The objective of the Hart-Seller act and the people who paid Ted Kennedy to push was to destroy America. The same people are still at it. Even ifTrump gets re-elected he will be the last Republican president.
