Top expert on youth vote says prevailing narrative about youth vote is wrong.

Interesting with others saying early vote is a bad gauge, since of of them will vote on Election Day.

Literally a wave.

[Only question is will the #GenZ wave of engagement continue - or - dissipate in the wake of Dobbs, threats to democracy, fear for the future? Large sample, probability-based polling data that has been consistently correlated w/ turnout says otherwise.]

I just laughed.

Why don't people understand that polls are used for propaganda?

Democratic candidates start out with a nice margin and then right before the election the polls tighten and some will even show the Magat candidate leading. It is so predictable.

The Magats have already told us they are going to challenge the vote in Philly. Why would they challenge that vote unless they know they are going to lose Pa.?

They know the Republicans are a threat to their rights, education, climate, etc.

The country is theirs for the taking. They now have the numbers to influence the direction of the country.

killing everybody of 65 or older will save them a lot of money. At least if they are MAGA.
