Young voters overwhelmingly say they would support President Biden over former President Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up if the 2024 presidential election were held today, according to a poll released Wednesday.

In the Economist/YouGov poll — conducted via web-based interviews Dec. 16-18 — more than half (53 percent) of registered voters under 30 said they would support Biden, and less than a quarter (24 percent) said they would support Trump.

Another 10 percent said they would support another candidate, 4 percent said they were not sure, and 9 percent said they wouldn’t vote.

    Sounds like you think you can win the 2024 general election without our help then. Best of luck.

      If you’re petty enough to roll over and let fascism win, you were never someone who could be relied on anyway.

        And yet, apparently the people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries are relying on our votes because he wouldn’t have won the general without us.

          Based on what you know about the GOP, what makes you think that there will even be an election in 2028 it they gain power in 2024?

            I don’t. Question is, why did the people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries think they could fuck us over and then turn around and expect our votes?

              So, a fascist takeover and having elections banned is okay by you, because you’re mad Biden voters didn’t pick your choice?

      Do you think you can win primary and general elections without their help? Petulance only begets petulance.

        Do you want our votes or not? This ain’t the way to do it.

                Alright then don’t cry when you lose in 2024. And if there is another primary election in 2028 do your best not to vote for the most procorporate trash candidate yeah?

                  Joe Biden was my first choice in the 2020 primaries. Clinton was my first choice in 2016. Buttigieg will be my first choice in 2028, most likely.

                  See the thing is, im part of that majority, and I agree with them.

                    Why did you vote for Biden out of everybody else in the 2020 primaries?

            Awww is the Boomer upset that someone doesn’t just do what they’re told? Gonna throw a little fit and insist you’re the grown up and therefore you make all the rules?

            Typical.

              I’m old but I’m not that old. I’m a tail end millennial.

              I’m not trying to make the rules or insist I’m the grown up. I’m just trying to point out that animosity with necessary allies is a terrible idea, and it applies both directions. I think it’s more important to win than it is to be proven right.

                They’re not allies though. The people who voted for Biden in the primaries did so specifically to fight progressive and leftist efforts. Ask anybody who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries why they did it.

                They are not allies and they’re not hiding it. They’re fighting us in the open.

                  I voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries AND I’m a progressive. I did so because I knew he had a better chance of winning over a broad group of voters that might have been turned off by populist loudmouths. Once the threat of fascism has subsided I will gladly vote third party, but for now we have coalitions to build and freedoms to protect.

                    Thanks for coming out and admitting it. You intentionally voted for Biden over progressives and leftists because they’re progressives and leftists.

                    We are not on the same side.
