Kansas City Gen Z Backs Prez Biden Despite Polling Evidence

This morning local public radio shares an interesting premise about the future of democracy.

Despite horrible polling numbers, hilarious memes and a worsening economy the local youth vote is ready to back Prez Biden's agenda . . .

"Polls show millennial and Gen Z voters will continue the trend of the last two elections and turn out in high numbers, even though they are disillusioned with divisive political rhetoric and inauthenticity among politicians."

Better turnout is encouraging . . . It's a good thing but it still might not measure up to expectations if American history over the past 50 years is any indication. 

Here's a few more things to consider about the NextGen showing up to save the Prez for the midterms:
