https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdSLoqW5/This guy says he is no longer voting for anyone who wont reduce his student loans. Hes simply not going to vote unless a candidate (from whatever party) says they are going to address the student loan situation. He even mentions how the threats to democracy are not enough to motivate him to vote.
Republicans are more than happy to have him not vote at all. Democrats cannot let votes like his sit on the sidelines. He is by not the only young voter who feels this way, not by a mile. Young, left-leaning voters have two major concerns: climate change and student loans. So far Biden and Congress have done nothing for either issue in the past 13 months and unless that changes, November is going to be brutal.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
