Young Voter Stuns Democrats Over Their Approach 

A student who once backed Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in his presidential bid shared insights on what young voters are looking for in a 2024 candidate during an appearance on “Fox and Friends” this Sunday.

Eann Tang, a 20-year-old student attending the University of Illinois, spoke with Fox News co-host Lawrence Jones, expressing that Gen Z voters are tired of the “popularity contest approach” often seen in Democratic politicians.

“Young people like me, we don’t just want to see these TikTok videos of politicians with celebrities. Young people today — we are no longer buying that because [of] what we have seen in the past three-and-a-half years by the Kamala administration, even though she’s acting like she’s not in charge of the fiasco that we’re seeing — but young people like me, we are just sick of seeing how — while, yeah, you’re a politician and it’s not a popularity contest — young people like me, we are no longer buying this popularity contest approach, and we are just appalled to see the state of the United States of America right now,” Tang said.

Kamala Harris, currently the Vice President and anticipated to be announced as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate this Thursday at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), has reportedly brought in musical talents like Megan Thee Stallion and Bob Iver to boost enthusiasm at her campaign events.

Additionally, Harris has adopted a social media aesthetic inspired by the vibrant green hue from pop artist Charli XCX’s sixth album, “brat.”

“As a young voter myself, I’m just appalled by everything,” Tang said. “I’m only 20 years old but it’s already heartbreaking for me to see America right now in ruins, that we are seeing the Left just going from extremism to extremism to extremism,” he continued. “And one key, big issue, like how we measure the economy, it’s not just the economy that we are concerned about, it’s the whole culture that’s been shifting, that’s been radicalized, in fact.”

Tang confessed to Jones that he had once identified as “a socialist” and backed Bernie Sanders in the 2020 presidential race. However, after delving into Leftist policies, his perspective shifted.

“I came to realize that it’s just a blanket promise for votes,” the student said. “That these policies, that they are no longer afraid to call themselves ‘socialists.’ These socialist policies have just ruined countries, they ruin families and they just put everything in shambles.”
