Gabe, Thank you for your continued reporting that I can't find other places, especially for the younger demographic!

Very insightful about the Harris TikTok phenomenon; I hope she can maintain the momentum in reaching young voters.

Thanks for the astute analysis, Gabe!

I agree with you that Harris has more of an Obama “blank slate” vibe, and will be able to be more “fluid” on policy than Biden could ever have been.

As part of the Biden-Harris administration, she can claim credit for and support *any* of that admin’s accomplishments that she chooses, and step away from those that might ultimately hurt her.

Sure, that might lead to her being called a “flipflopper”, but when you look at Trump-Vance and the *massive* flips by *both* of them (particularly Vance), I think that takes a LOT of the teeth out of that (potential) argument.

Keep up the good work, particularly as you keep your ear to the direction of the youth vote.

Gave, I always appreciate your fresh perspectives. You didn’t mention what younger voters think of Pete as a running mate. I’m curious to know.

Wrong. All she has is sexism/racism, which last I heard was not a policy. But Demokkkrats and racism are inseparable am I right?

Maybe I am just old and cranky, but someone needs to explain the Gen Z (Dem) nitpicking to me. I wonder if their Rep. counterparts have similar concerns with their candidate.

As a millenial, I appreciate Gen Z's idealism. I think a big driver in being picky about candidates is believing we can do better as a society, and not being willing to settle for less. As people get older, we appreciate the necessity of compromise more. Because we've seen that's how things get done. But there always need to be groups that push the narrative and don't take no for an answer.
