These statistics quantitatively express a significant shift in political mood and perspective that has occurred over just the last year, as the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the US and the world.
As long as we can get them on board later and understand Biden sucks and should be opposed, they should be fine. Who knows, they might regret their vote.
But I'm with you. Part of the reason why activating the youth/nonvoters didn't work for Bernie was because the liberal boomers got activated even harder by their hate for trump. If the dems mentally check out and a figure or an org can rise out of the 2020 electoral mania to unite the burgeoning American Left (or at least socdems+) then the political landscape could be seriously changed by millions of people realizing that the dems don't and won't ever represent their interests.
Does it mean anything if they vote for Biden though?

Pretty sure the US youth don't vote for anyone. That's why bernie lost.
edit: activating non-voters didn't work. stay mad.

The settle for biden movement is semi-popular on TikTok, however. Hopefully the people who support it at the moment radicalize fully soon.
