They’re just not offering unconditional support, and if they don’t do that Biden doesn’t want them.
Which is his main problem with younger voters. He doesn’t want to work with voters, he wants voters to work for him.
“I have noticed that there have been a lot more events with creators, but the creators that are getting invited are the creators who are very pro Biden and just parroting talking points or sharing photo ops of them smiling with the President. Not the creators who have been critical,” said Kahlil Greene, a history content creator and education advocate in Washington who said he hasn’t been invited to the White House since he criticized the administration over the TikTok ban and the war in Gaza.
Annie Wu Henry, a political influencer and digital strategist who has worked on Democratic campaigns, agreed. While the White House once treated creators as independent media, she said, they now seem to be playing favorites.
Biden’s team “is trying to say that they’re handling influencers like the press. But the thing is, the press briefing room has to have Fox News no matter what. They have to allow all of the media in,” Henry said. “When it comes to influencers, they only let in people who agree, and anyone who gives even a little bit of pushback is not welcome.”
If Biden isn’t seeing the support this time, it’s not the fault of influencers, it’s his fault for ignoring anyone that’s not just kissing his ring.
Same issue Hillary had.
Quick edit:
All he has to do is keep inviting the ones who are vocal about their concerns and open a dialog.
Even if he doesn’t change stances, it’s a hell of a lot better than surrounding himself with “yes men”.
It’s a very easy path forward, but it involves admitting people a quarter of his age have valid points. That’s hard for an 82 year old.
Biden is not a populist who panders to everyone just to disappoint more than half of them. He has positions which he holds and an administration working towards them. You can either agree with the direction or not. Someone may not be thrilled about having a choice between two candidates, but that’s reality and nobody’s gonna game it by not voting, so pick an issue and decide is Biden going to be better or worse than Trump? Unless their a nazi or indoctrinated Christian nationalist, 99% of the time gen z should come to the logical conclusion.
Edit: IMO Biden has been the most progressive Democratic Presidents in a long time
Biden has been the most progressive Democratic Presidents in a long time
I am so fucking sick and tired of this talking point. You really need to stop parroting that bullshit.
I’m going to vote for Biden. I’m going to tell everyone I know to vote for Biden. I’m going to have lawn signs and participate in local voter drives, because I want Biden to win.
But he is not progressive enough. Comparing him to previous presidents it the least convincing argument you could possibly make. It’s offensive. He’s more progressive than Trump? Fuck you.
Our presidents, our government, have been controlled by kleptocrats and oligarchs for as long as any of us have been alive, and all of us are suffering because of it. Our world is dying, our futures have been mortgaged, and our economy actively works to enslave us.
We have never had a progressive president or a progressive government, so it’s like you’re saying “Biden is the softest kick in the nuts we’ve had in a long time.”
Yeah, ok, maybe you’re right. Are we supposed to be grateful? Go fuck yourself.
They’re not “turning against him”…
