    There were shenanigans to sink Bernie’s ship. That being said, while I’d have been happy with him, there’s no way he could’ve won looking at the map in hindsight. So I’m glad because Biden is better than another four years of Trump.

    You’re 100% correct that all the enthusiasm online didn’t turn out young voters in the primary, and all the complaints about old people winning elections are mostly from the same demographic that didn’t turn out to vote. They turned out in slightly greater numbers than usual but there is an untapped well of political power to change things if young people actually got each other to vote.
