This is what I'm talking about, this Doel guys premise is that suddenly a bunch of young disenfranchised voters would turn up on general election day and give Bernie the presidency.

Even although these same incredibly enthusiastic people couldn't give enough of a shit to vote in the primary.

It's a fantasy there is no evidence that things are changing. You have an ageing population where the young people don't vote. This is not the time to try and make some point that if only there was a socialist candidate things would change wait 4 years and be proved wrong then because if you get it wrong this time you probably won't have a real election in 4 years time.

I'm definitely concerned about the younger voters not showing up to vote for Bernie, if indeed that's the case. Assuming there's not some other underhanded bullshit going on. I know the Republicans have already announced their intentions to make it difficult for college students to vote, especially those who go to school in a different state - or even a different city from the place which they still consider their legal primary residence. Wouldn't be surprised if certain "Democratic" state party organizations played the same game.

One thing is for certain.... Biden sure as fuck isn't going to bring them out to vote in November, just like Hillary didn't. That said, there's a serious mental disconnect if Bernie can get you off the couch to go to a rally to see him, but not get you to show up at the polling place. Being a committed political liberal since the age of 14 (when the obvious BCE manipulation of the Iran hostage crisis woke me up) it's hard to imagine being young and NOT giving a shit. Especially since things on this planet are looking MUCH worse for the younger generations now than they were in 1980.

Hillary got more votes than Trump and more than Obama did in 2012.

Trumps popularity has gone down big time since he has been in office and Biden doesn't have the unpopularity of Clinton and also is popular with black voters.

If you want Trump out you need to start worrying about who actually votes in elections and stop this Trump style thing of saying elections are fake because you don't like the results.

Biden won't do 2 terms, get your guy in next time and preferably find one that is a bit more moderate and not 90 years old.
