Per a CNN exit poll, #Trump leads #Biden among young voters.
Turnout is going to determine this election in the #USA. Especially if you live in #Pennsylvania, #Michigan, or #Wisconsin.

@MHS_Jenkins it's not an exit poll but a regular poll. That is, a poll of the 5% most gullible Americans who answer phone calls from unknown numbers to chat with scammers and pollsters. Most of THOSE young people support Trump. Are willing to vote away their right to vote, their right to an abortion, to medical care, to be considered a full person.
@walterbays With respect: Opinion pieces like this are part of the reason why so many young voters don't vote blue. Approaching their concerns a bit differently and acknowledging that Gaza is a legit issue would go a long way.
No one is owed the youth vote--or any other vote. That attitude is destructive.
@MHS_Jenkins All true. Yet there's no effective way for a US president to deal with the leaders in a conflict, both sides of which are hell bent on genocide and have no regard even for their own people's suffering.
So even if the youth protestors' contention is true that Biden is biased towards Israel, their answer is the man who vows another tougher Muslim ban, internment camps, deporting legal residents back to their ""shithole" countries.
@walterbays The issue is that the administration, the DNC, and most leading Dem politicians are actively supporting and abetting this genocide. I cannot find fault with anyone who refuses to vote in support of that, or even speak out against it in a meaningful way.
@walterbays this is a key distinction: the administration is actively supporting, funding, and excusing Israel's actions in Gaza.
@walterbays It's the actions that count.
@MHS_Jenkins Finally. Actions to match quiet words.
