True but I hope the swing voters agree.

If the socialist youth get their arse in a voting booth you guys should be fine. https://circle.tufts.edu/2022-election-center

We might also need the politically disaffected youth, the politically oblivious median boomer and everyone inbetween.

We need the people who would laugh at the suggestion that you can make politicians care by voting for them. It's a hard argument to make with this candidate.

It's not hard. This is where their power comes from. The fact that there is a well-oiled propaganda machine doesn't change that.
