To clarify, I wasn't comment on you, just using your post as a jump off point.
For the youth- this isn't just a millennial voting habit problem- it a is a historic youth voting problem. I didn't vote the first 2 elections I could (poor, working, trapped at college with no understand how to vote), then I was in idealist phase for the next two. I took 4 elections for me to learn- you vote for change, even if it is incremental because it not just about you and your feeling.
I really did think being in the ERA Bernie bubble that the trend was going to be broken. But for all the talk- when it came to actual voting, it is just unbelievable to me youth did worst this primary, while voting number went up otherwise. It is not the DNC fault that people voted for a Democrat. It is Bernie's fault for not earning the votes. People are not receiving Biden Bucks for voting against Bernie.
Bernie has the right message, but is the wrong person to be running on it. For 30 some years in government, Bernie has little progress to show for his time served. The vast majority of the USA had no idea who Bernie was until 2015, and then he was mostly the not Hillary vote. Joe, has made mistake, but in 40+ years, he has done good stuff AND as personal connected with minority voters (just like Hillary did).
Bernie been talking a race from his ivory state- he still doesn't get it. You have to earn trust by putting in community time- not just spout scripted ideas. White men through history say lots of good things- but their track record of hold up their end of the bargain is abysmal. And the dog whistle of calling southern black voters part of the establishment, just damn, Bernie hasn't learned.
I'm in the acceptance phase- I wanted Warren, but after last night I am coming to grips with voting Biden.
