    Probably has to do with it being a Tuesday where young voters disproportionately work compared to older voters who are more likely to be retired or have more pull in flexible work hours due to being higher up on the totem pole due to work experience.

    Older voters also tend to be more communal with things like church congregations where they are more organized to go out and vote together.

    Hopefully he can at least reverse most of Trump's damage.

    Of course M4A is a winning idea.

    Problem for Bernie is none of the rest of his agenda is a winner. Its just a money pit.

    As a young person who did vote, id like to see some data to back up your assertions.

    We can only go by polls


    27 percent in 2010 said they didn't vote because they were too busy. There are many factors that don't apply to you most likely. I'm assuming you don't work an hourly wage for example which can hurt someone more if they do if they took time off to vote especially if they live pay check to pay check.

    Too busy can be any number of thing. There is early voting 2 weeks in advance, a lot of this is bs excuses. Also 27% in 2010....cmon man.

    It's easy for you to say that. When some people have to work 50-60 hour weeks on a hourly wage and are still living pay check to pay check, it's far more difficult to take time off. Have some god damn empathy.

    I have empathy for those people, but acting like the majority of young people have those type of conditions is a load of bull.

    Majority of all demographics didn't vote in the primaries. I'm referring to what might account for some of the relative difference.

    And you don't have any substantial data that the reason is that they are "lazy".

    I dont think its far cry to say the majority of young voters arent working 50-60 hours per week working paycheck to paycheck, that assertion is laughable and it clearly you trying to cape for young people.

    In a relative scale, younger people work hourly wages than elderly people. Younger people also tend to live pay check to pay check relative to elderly people which can account for the relative difference in many cases.

    Now can I see your data besides your perception for it being only laziness?

    Objectively we can say America is not ready for the progressive policies of Sanders and AOC. Losing Minnesota, Massachusetts to Biden is clear evidence of that, and if democrats are not ready for them, you can best believe independents are not either.

    Biden way outperformed his expectations.

    Well polling suggests that a lot of people who agree with Bernie's ideas voted for Biden because of electability.
