Bidens base isnt as freaked out as he might want them to be
Younger and non-White voters are less likely to express concern about democracy or express anxiety about the election.

"SNIP............
When Yahoo News presented Americans with a number of phrases describing the 2024 presidential election, the one that received the most agreement from poll respondents was one focused on the importance of defending democracy.
Six in 10 respondents in the poll conducted by YouGov offered at least some agreement with the statement, which read: Whether democracy is still Americas sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time. Its what the 2024 election should be all about. That included three-quarters of Democrats and 6 in 10 Republicans. The only other statement with which a majority of respondents agreed was one about how Donald Trumps campaign is about him, not America. But Republicans werent on board with that one.
You can see how different demographic groups responded to the democracy statement below, including breaking respondents down by the cable news channel they watched most often, if any. Well come back to this.

Just air the words of the orange monster saying what he wants to do in his next term. Unless youre a cult member it will scare the shit out of the Americans who arent paying attention like us on DU!
should just start showing commercial snippets of Project 2025. That should scare the crap out of them.
