This week, Democratic strategist James Carville stated that the party’s standing with young voters—particularly young men—is dismal in the run-up to the November elections.
Carville discussed the issues the Democrats are having under President Joe Biden’s direction in his Sunday podcast, “Carville’s Classroom.”
Carville remarked, “I have been extremely loud about this.” “Our percentages among younger voters—younger Latinos, younger Blacks, and younger people of color in general—are horrific. in particular, men. They are departing in large numbers; we are not losing them.”
According to recent polls, Democrats’ support from young voters, Latino voters, and black voters has dropped by double digits since 2020.
Carville then spent some time elaborating on what would be a compelling message for such voters:
Carville stated, “If we do not take the time to understand their lives, they believe that politics is just a bunch of bullsh*t, people bickering back and forth.” Young voters are concerned with things like mortgage rates, insurance premiums, and house ownership prices.
Democrats should use fear tactics, such as telling young people that “you are going to live with the repercussions of this,” to dissuade them from supporting Trump, according to Carville. You live this existence.
And we need to clarify it. We will not persuade anyone under 35 that we can create a wonderful nation for them. He remarked, “I do not think people are going to buy it.” I do not think we will be able to convince them to change for the better. Try as you may. They do not believe their future in the US is safe due to convoluted economic dynamics. Additionally, it could not be.
What was Trotsky’s statement if you were to obtain this Supreme Court without casting a ballot? “The revolution cares about you, even though you cannot care about it,” he said. “You are going to be forced into this, so we need to fight hard to make sure these kids understand what is at risk in this.”
