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.
Devils advocate here.... Shouldn't that young progressive realize that while dems might not be coming through like they should that the republican party represents the antithesis of their position and turning apathetic is giving up any hope of anything you believe in?
