SCOTUS allows Florida's pay-to-vote scheme, which disenfranchises thousands of ex-felons, to take effect. This likely means thousands of Floridians will be unable to vote in the 2020 election due to lack of money. Sotomayor, Ginsburg, and Kagan dissent.
Really want to start seeing some spending coming from the Biden campaign. They made a tiny 6 figure ad buy in Texas that doesn't go very far here. Doesn't seem like they are really expanding statewide operations in states yet from what I can tell either. They are just stacking up money with around 3 months until people can start early voting
Just once, I'd like to see Bloomberg or another billionaire do something like this.
Remember, the Monmouth poll in PA had Biden leading by +30 among people 50 and younger, and +10 among 65 and older -- but the 50-65 crowd had Trump up +13.
That's a very narrow but highly contrarian slice of the population, and unlike their parents, never had to deal with Polio, or anything of that nature.

Why is it that age range in particular that has been especially susceptible to the brainwashing?
Not really brainwashing as much as it is partisanship.
they grew up with their first elections being Nixon and Reagan. Not Truman and Kennedy or Bill Clinton/Obama. Conservatives just dominated the 70s and 80s and people who grew up in that time frame reflect that more

Everything in Utah south of SLC is increasing degrees crazy the further you go. Provo is the home of BYU. This is a geographical/density incident, not age or generational one.
this makes no sense, they arent even changing their platform from 2016 if you wanna know how shitty they are.
people only post bible verses when they are trying to tweet through shit
Those are the people that came of age during the rise of St. Reagan.
Usually people of that age were born to parents too young to remember the Great Depression, and came into a world where US living standards were at a peak, at least for whites. People slightly older may still remember the relatively lean years of the late 40s and early 50s.
That generation was the most educated up to that point, but it doesn't seem like it did them any good. I think the primary form of media consumption has something to do with it, too. I'm sure someone out there had a grandparent or two that was glued to the TV like this particular cohort is glued to Facebook.
Going from, say, a newspaper to TV as your main mode of information is a lot different than going from TV to an even more curated media environment.
Right this group was in their early 30's / late 20's by the time Clinton was elected. They would have been little kids during the JFK / LBJ years and Carter was viewed as a joke. Good news is that this is also why Millennials will stay Democratic for years.
It's insane how republicans keep getting away with this. Undermining the democratic will of the people who then end up voting for them again. It's absurd and infuriating.
Meanwhile the 1st president Zoomers will remember is Trump. Unless the GOP course corrects soon they will lose two generations permanently.
Cry more bitch.
Why does anyone who isn't directly a part of Trump's family think they're going to leave the admin unscathed?
Is this registration or self-affiliation? Both are bad, just wondering.
Re: SCOTUS, Roberts has really done a number on voting rights in this country.
My Zoomer kids remember Obama. Being in the Chicago Public School System, he's solidly venerated there.
This of course just enhances your point.
I'm not sure myself. For instance, I know several registered Republicans who no longer affiliate or vote Republican but haven't changed their party registration.
A Princeton professor called the Black Justice League a terrorist organization and WSJ editorial board wrote some bullshit about how cancel culture is targeting a respected professor
I hate this paper so fucking much

My oldest is too young to remember Obama, but he sure knows Trump. I use him as an example all the time to point out the wrong way to behave.
Damn had no idea they were spending that much on Facebook ads. I don't have Facebook so probably why it doesn't seem like they are advertising at all
Zoomers are older than you think (though generation gaps are obviously super arbitrary and kind of dumb). I'm in my early 20s, not a millennial, and I remember the hell out of Obama. And Bush, for that matter.
If they say it enough times...maybe someone will believe he did a good job.
