Great article. Here is the main issue for young voters and democratic voters in general who wonder if the system works their best interest or is geared to a select view in party leadership "selecting" who we get to vote for in elections. The article states the main issue: "The electoral rematch the public NEVER WANTED will likely depress turnout." People are disillusioned with the democratic process for many reasons. Trump won as an outsider who went around the usual Bush, Gore, and Clinton picks of the litter. Young people are watching this system as well. They voted for Biden in 2020 - He said he was passing the torch. In the most consequential election in our history - here we are with as you say a match up no one really wanted again. Democrats have been winning special elections because candidate quality does matter - it matters how the campaign messages, it matters that we have built a grassroots infrastructure to get out the vote. Republicans do not have the machine we have built organically. We will go all in to win. It's not about the candidate - it is about voting for your daughter, the future, your freedom.

Please join The Civics Center on Zoom on Thursday April 18 at 6PM ET to hear from Laura W. Brill, Founder and CEO, in conversation with political strategist and commentator Simon Rosenberg. The Civics Center is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that provides free training and resources to help make voter registration part of every high school in America.

Registration increases the likelihood of youth turnout: 86% of registered youth turned out in 2020.
