Cenk Uygur's perspective: Biden voters are dumber...

They're older and thus watch TV and are less informed, Young people get their data online.

Not explaining why the "more informed" younger voters don't bother to vote.

But he can't.

I like the man, but younger voters just aren't coming out to pull that lever. We can't win with constitutes we wish we had, we have to win with the ones we do have.

The biggest take away for young Sanders supporters SHOULD be, "Get your friends to vote, dammit."

On nights like this I am forever amazed that anyone ever believes in turnout. Yes, you have to do all the work just in case it's a razor tight election. But raw preference overwhelms turnout to such extreme that they two variables don't even belong in the same conversation, let alone same sentence.

Regardless, I'm sure I'll read on this site countless times toward November that it's all about "turnout, turnout, turnout."

Pardon me if I laugh uncontrollably every time. I guess that line sounds good and that's why it is so mindlessly repeated.

I'll wager based on situational variables, ideological breakdown and raw preference. I'm sure it will be a struggle.

I turned it off but they really keep pushing the Biden attacks, that he cannot finish a sentence and that wanders around on the stage. No idea how they can call themselves progressives. They are so much closer to Hannity both in how vile they are and their misinformation. They shouldn't be considered as progressive TV. They are doing their best to get Trump elected.

He has nothing positive to say. He has minimal to no influence. He got 5% of the vote in CA-25. I respect all goes but he doesn't seem to do the reverse. I'm not sure he is a resource going forward.
