      A huge part of the poor youth vote attendance is due to them not feeling represented by geriatric nominees. If she were to run she would get very strong youth and minority support in addition to all the left voters.

      TBH it would be a dream come true for her to run and win this year and I’m not even American.

        I’m Canadian and agree with you.

        Just imagine a ticket with AOC and Bernie Sanders! Now that would so something to see!

          Bernie winning Dem primaries was the last time we saw the DNC put its heels in the sand. I don’t think anyone should be surprised that a huge portion of the Dem voter base now feels consistently disenfranchised, especially the younger side. And the current issue with Biden doesn’t improve it.

        I’d say a larger reason is that they’re simply not interested in the politics at that age.

        I know I didn’t care at all who was in government when I was at that age. The fact that they were a couple generations older than me wasn’t a part of my thought process.

        I simply couldn’t be bothered to even think about politics or governments.

      Trump and Biden are also divisive figures which is why this is even a discussion to begin with. We need to end the status quo immediately.
