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.
Again- there are two viable options. A Democrat or a Republican. What does voting for anyone else accomplish? Did voting for Perot change the status quo in 1992? Did voting for Nader change the status quo in 2000? No.
If you want to do the self-congratulating, performative act of voting for someone who has no chance of winning, go for it. If I felt that way, I just wouldn’t vote because it would make the same amount of difference but I wouldn’t have had to make an effort. Either way, the only one who will know what you did is you.
