What a shit article. It's almost as if the argument isn't being made in good faith.
In Virginia, where Biden clobbered Sanders by almost 30 points, turnout surged from 800,000 in 2016 to 1.3 million on Tuesday, but the portion of the electorate made up of 17-29 year-old voters actually declined. And Sanders won 55% of Virginia's young voters this year — down from 69% in 2016.
And yet VA youth turnout was actually UP more than 34%
A similar phenomenon played out in North Carolina, another crucial swing state, where 17-29 year-old voters declined as a share of the electorate and their support for Sanders dropped from 69% to 57%.
HMM, and yet, NC youth turnout actually stayed about the same.
And in Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Massachusetts, and Sanders' home state of Vermont, the youth vote also declined as a percentage of Democratic primary-goers. But in California, Sanders managed to expand the young vote.
Alabama Vermont, yep disappointing. TN stayed about the same. South Carolina though, UP 6%. Texas? UP 15%! (And that's with some serious voter suppression.) Massachusetts? UP 24 %!
I guess what I'm trying to say is, stop making me do math.
