    Oh this isn’t going to totally turn into “how do you do, fellow kids?” Memes.

    Nope. Not at all.

      I would say that entirely depends on which celebrities get on board.

      Someone like, for example, Robert Downey, Jr.? Definitely a “fellow kids” thing. But if they get someone like Taylor Swift?

    If only there was a more effective and cheaper way of shoring up the youth vote…

    JFC, the fact that the article says they’re planning to reach younger voters on tik tok is so perfectly symbolic of everything wrong with their candidate. Biden want to embrace the same stuff with one side of his mouth, that he’s berates as a national security risk with the other side. Just like he is both very concerned with the plight of Palestinians and also very eager to facilitate their extermination. He is a disaster of a candidate, president and human being, and deserves every bit of scrutiny that younger folks are giving him.

    Now kids, don’t pay attention to what he’s saying or doing, just engage with our sick sick memes.

      Maybe you didn’t read the article to the end?

      Almost a third of people aged 18 to 29 said they were regularly getting their news from TikTok, according to Pew Research, as well as upticks on YouTube, Instagram and Twitch.

      Sounds like TikTok is the exact right place to reach young voters to me.

    End the war in Gaza and make housing more affordable. Those are the top two concerns for the youth vote. Why don’t you do that instead of getting out of touch celebrities begging for votes?
