"At a Moment Where Young People Are Experiencing Radical Upheaval, the Democrats Are Once Again Promising More of the Same"

"But while it would be fatalistic not to demand these things, it may be unrealistic to expect the Democrats to deliver. Everything about Biden’s public record suggests that he takes young voters for granted, doesn't respect us or take our concerns seriously, and is preparing for a convention that will leave us deflated and alienated from electoral politics for years to come. If that doesn't change, we won't be able to express our frustration by massing outside a convention hall like Biden's generation did in 1968. More likely, many of us will express it the only way we're able to express anything at the moment: by staying home."

As Bernie Sanders ends his 2020 campaign, David Klion at the Daily Beast argues that "By Picking Joe Biden, Democrats Are Kissing Their Future Goodbye."
