6. Reality vs perfection as the enemy of the good... i.e old vs young

The more TFG and the rest of his party talk about gutting social security, Medicare, etc, the more seniors will ove towards Biden. The cap on prescription medications for Medicare that kicks in this year will be a BFD to seniors who will realize in the next few months that Joe Biden and Bidenomics actually made their life better -- even if they are not on insulin. Let's say that you are a senior who has $500 a month in drugs needed (not an unreasonable amount these days). In the next coupld of months, you will have reached max levels and no more out of pocket for prescriptions. These seniors will vote Biden

I have two sons 17 (will be 18 by election) and 22. The 22 will defintiely vote for BIden but is unhappy that there isn't a more progressive choice. Right now 17 says he will vote 3rd parth because the Dems are owned by corporations same as the Republcains. Hopefully, he will come around. In polls now, a lot of younger voters will pick their issue of choice : not enough student loan forgiveness, the war in Gaza, whatever, to say they will not vote for Biden. (Not understanding how US and International politics work) and let perfection be the enemy of the good. Hoepfully, when the election gets close they will realize that a vote for RFK, Green Party, or whatever is really just a vote for TFG and vote Dem,
