Not a chance. Look at the timing. He was going for driving young college educated voters to the polls for the midterms. It worked exactly as planned.
Since the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class as a whole, they rely on mobilizing the college-educated minority, which is loyal in spirit but unreliable when it comes to actually placing votes. Until something changes, the Democratic Party will drum up a new cause every 2 years (based on their available resources at the time) targeted at this demographic, and it won't always work, but it did this time.
- mitchdoogle 3y agoI think the major issue for the midterms was actually abortion. I think the student debt issue fired up as many detractors as it did proponents
- 111111IIIIIII 3y agoI disagree, but most importantly you're confusing the difference between exciting people who already vote vs. mobilizing non-voters. The Democratic Party is a tad more sophisticated than that.
