«“The truth of the matter is that there are a hell of a lot more working-class people who could vote for Kamala Harris than there are conservative Republicans,” Sanders told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday.…She has to start talking more to the needs of working-class people.”»

Young voters are shaping Europe's future! Far-right parties are gaining ground, especially with young men, while economic struggles drive their vote. Will this trend sway the 2024 elections? #EUElections2024 #YouthVote
"As young women have increasingly become more progressive and politically active, young men are moving in the opposite direction, expressing more conservative views on political issues and gender roles more broadly.
A growing group of these young men have found an online home in the Manosphere, a loose community of right-leaning and anti-feminist social media agitators…."

“The Wide Awakes were a … youth movement. They marched to protest … slavery’s death grip on democracy. … not all abolitionists, most were antislavery in one way or another. They united around a fear that a small minority of enslavers, aided by northern allies, were perverting America’s fragile politics. After watching their elders slumber for decades, a rising generation was eager to wake up.” https://emergingcivilwar.com/2024/07/11/book-review-wide-awake-the-forgotten-force-that-elected-lincoln-and-spurred-the-civil-war/

person 1-
Everyone I know was the same. And worse because they would condescend any time I dared to ask questions about her [Clinton] problems as a candidate.

This was the biggest issue.
You can’t just be condescending to half the voting population and expect to win.
person 3-
They're still doing it lol. "Oh you're not sure about Biden? Well Trump is worse dumbass. How FUCKING dare you"
What a fucking crackerjack way to give young, hopeful people a reason to vote. Some of the posts in the past few months, just dripping with patronising "you are a bad person if you don't vote this way" sentiment that almost feels designed to drive newcomers (youngsters) away from you.

>> “'I want to change things with my vote – I want the #AfD to shape that.' That would include, for many of the party’s young supporters, explicit backing of 'remigration' of #Germans with #immigrant roots who 'fail to integrate.'"
#YouthVote in 2024 will either push us into the abyss of #fascism or pull us back from the brink.
This is the burden OUR generation has put on the #young, in conformance with #PeaceConstant == 3 generations

“'I want to change things with my vote – I want the AfD to shape that.'
That would include, for many of the party’s young supporters, explicit backing of 'remigration' of Germans with immigrant roots who 'fail to integrate.'"
The person saying this is 16-year-old Paul Friederich, who proudly voted for the hard-right AfD. Deborah Cole's article shows the inroads right-wing disinformation about crime and immigrants are making among young voters.

As Albena Azmanova states, the recent EU elections show young voters turning right, to authoritarian solutions to problems. The puzzle is, why turn right when it seems to be the left that offers the solutions young people have claimed to want?
To me — Azmanova doesn't say this — the answer is clear and ominous: authoritarianism is luring young people who have not informed themselves about the horrors it has brought in the past.
Paul Hockenos focuses on how young voters voted in the recent EU elections. The picture is grim: in Portugal, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, and Germany, it appears that younger voters disproportionately voted for far-right parties. In Germany, they showed far more support for far-right parties than for the Greens.
"Biden faces a dual challenge with younger men: Not only is abortion less of a motivating issue for them, but there’s evidence that many of them are receptive to the messaging of Trump’s 'Make America Great Again' movement, with its implicit promise to restore traditional racial and gender hierarchies."
Brownstein cites the new Pew Research Center national survey linked below to support his claim here.

"Democrats are facing the threat of a gender gap that could imperil the traditional advantage among younger voters that the party has enjoyed for decades and that President Joe Biden likely needs to defeat former President Donald Trump."
