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.

    I’d love to hear your ideas to fix it when it’s unconstitutional to do so. Short of amending the constitution, what are the options?

    For the record, no party has proposed a viable solution, regardless of how mainstream that party is

      Well, once we have a majority of any size, we kill the filibuster. We use our majority to supersede the judiciary act of 1869 and increase the size of the Supreme Court. We then put additional justices on the supreme court and repeal Dobbs, thereby reinstating Roe.

      Then we codify Roe so Republicans will have a harder time getting rid of it. Then we have a popular accomplishment to run on, a majority not hamstrung by the Jim Crow Filibuster, and a Supreme Court that isn’t ruling in bad faith against the American people.

      Or we continue to timidly do nothing, or worse, blame the victims because they live in red states and therefore need to suffer for committing the sin of being outnumbered.

        Ah, court packing by one side. What could go wrong when the other side regains control?

          Ah, court packing by Republicans. Let’s sit back and do nothing when it happens.

          In any event, I answered your question. You wanted to know how to get Roe back without a constitutional amendment. It’s a more feasible idea than giving up forever on republicans’ victims in red states because fixing things is work.

            Sorry, ig I was hoping for a realistic idea. We could also murder every GOP member of congress. Plenty of implausible ideas out there

              You’ll dismiss all ideas but “give up” as unrealistic.
