US midterm elections: What's happened to economy under Biden?
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Ok we're getting there. So your claiming you got this understanding from Al Jazeera. Interesting, so now all we need is a link to this article and see if the interpretation is the same for everyone or was it just you? "My understanding is that mail voting convinced young voters to vote in large numbers and apparently they consider abortion to be birth control, rather than a last resort, so single issue voters." -
Last midterms 2018 there was an even higher young people vote and no talk of student loans. This year not one single student has gained any benifit from student loans as they are still on hold. The exit polls proved what they turned out for as already demonstrated, not your 10k holiday bribe insinuation.

A federal judge calls student loan relief unlawful, deepening limbo for borrowers It was nothing to do with the student loans. As already stated in the exit polls, young people voted on abortion and climate change as just two of their most important issues. Your misinformation is not surprising however, a Trump classic, throw out accusations with no proof.

Thats you saying that not me. Young people are old enough to get married, join the military and fight for their country, they are also old enough to make choices for their rights by voting. While final figures are still pouring in, it is estimated that 27% of young voters aged 18-29 cast a ballot in 2022, making this the midterm election with the second highest youth voter turnout in almost three decades, after 2018. Support for Democrats was even higher among Black youth at 89% and Latino youth at 68%. Youth Voter Turnout in the 2022 Midterms Delivered Key Wins for Democrats An initial look at youth voting patterns shared by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts (CIRCLE) shows that young Americans ages 18-29 overwhelmingly backed Democrats for the U.S. House of Representatives. CIRCLE’s analysis of the Edison Research National Election Pool exit poll found that 63% of young Americans voted for a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House, while 35% of young Americans backed Republican candidates. With the threat of a national abortion ban on the horizon to far-right candidates promoting climate change denial and threatening to reject election results, according to organizers, there was an overwhelming understanding this cycle of “the stakes of the moment,” said Sunrise Movement’s 25-year-old national spokesperson Ellen Sciales. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/youth-voter-turnout-2022-midterms-democrats

Biden, "Democracy is at stake" The people listened and made their vote. Thank God for the sensible who voted for democracy and especially for the younger voters who came out to help the process. Meanwhile MAGA are left to lick their wounds and blame themselves and what they should have done instead. Of course the same old election stolen will again crop up, tedious but like the flat earthers, now time to just ignore them and get the country running again.

Best midterm performance for sitting party in 20 years Given that midterm elections in America traditionally favour the party in opposition, this amounts to the best performance of its kind in 20 years – since George W Bush’s Republican party achieved gains in both chambers of Congress back in 2002. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-63600154

"My understanding is that mail voting convinced young voters to vote in large numbers and apparently they consider abortion to be birth control, rather than a last resort, so single issue voters." Where do you get your understanding on this? Just because young voters came out to vote does not mean they are there voting to use abortion as birth control does it? Can you provide any evidence that this is the reason they voted? -

Twitter: Elon Musk blames 'activist groups' for earnings drop

Twitter boss Elon Musk 'not above the law', warns US regulator On Thursday, Yoel Roth, who had been Twitter's head of trust and safety, updated his profile on the social media platform to indicate that he was no longer in the role. Chief privacy officer Damien Kieran and chief compliance officer Marianne Fogarty resigned, according to reports, and the company's chief security officer Lea Kissner also quit. The departures may increase the risk of Twitter violating regulatory orders. The firm was fined $150m (£119m) in May for selling users' data, and had to agree to new privacy rules. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63593242
