If you're a young, progressive or working class voter, there's just nothing that Biden and Co. are getting done that's going to appeal to you or materially improve your life, so why bother? These people aren't necessarily going to vote Republican; they're just going to give up on the system entirely.

Yup. The only reason Biden won was that progressives were extremely motivated to get rid of trump, it was his job to keep them motivated so they could gain some senate seats in 2022 and actually be able to get #### done then. He's failed miserably at that, and now Republicans are going to take back the senate and maybe the house as well. He won't be the worst, but Biden's legacy may be as the most ineffectual president in US history
