Young voters were both:
Led astray thru less than honest media platforms & propaganda groups
AND
Weren't politically curious enough to read/research beyond these dishonest campaigns/platforms.
My hope is that young voters learn to "trust, but verify."
Sorry, but the truth was there.

Yes, Biden's unconditional support of Israel deserved scrutiny, but so did Trump's motives. No way would Trump help Gaza
Even mild MAGAs, non Kamala voters, & angry D voters could not justify their Trump choice beyond a single sentence answer Ex: I like him on economy (falsely crediting Trump with the Covid check.)
Lemmings into the sea.
