Biden is pandering to young voters on issues most don’t care about

President Joe Biden’s pandering to young voters is embarrassing, especially when you realize he is pandering to the smallest pocket of young voters there is.

Biden and the Democratic Party view young voters as the key to their permanent dominance. As the hypothesis goes, any day now, generation after generation of young Democratic voters will dominate the voter pool and render the GOP extinct, a prediction that was likely being made before this writer was born. In reality, people change, which is why the 18-29-year-old voters who backed Barack Obama by 34 points in 2008 became 30-44-year-old voters who backed Biden in 2020 by just 7 points.
