The thing about this is, I was a kid in 1996 when Bill Clinton ran against Bob Dole.
Our whole elementary school had a big educational event about the election. Bob Dole and Bill Clinton both sent personalized videos to our schools, explaining what they stood for, and we had a mock election.
My grade overwhelmingly went for Bill Clinton. (I want to say, he had a very easy-to-understand platform regarding the importance of education, and the impact it would have on us, the future electorate. And Bob Dole was… Bob Dole.)
Did I mention I grew up in a very Roman Catholic, very hardcore Republican house? That I grew up in Oklahoma, a red state?
I wasn’t the only kid standing up to my parents over the results!
I guess what I’m saying is, if the children are aware, and still choosing Trump, we need to know why. Kids don’t have a problem voting against their parents, as long as they understand the issues. And if they don’t understand the role they play in their country, we should be extending further education.
I really think that we are failing our children. Our educational system is disgraceful.
I actually expect Harris to win by a larger amount than any of the polls are showing. Regardless of polls, I think a lot of the Republicans are simply not going to go out and vote this election, while I think the potential Democrat voters have a strong urge. I’m betting a few unexpected seats will flip blue because of it as well.
Why? Trump has done nothing but polarize his base and many Republicans who would never actually vote for a Democrat, still won’t want to show up and face the aspect of voting for trump.

Don’t worry, republicans and their tankie allies are doing everything to make everyone think about the genocide in Israel, rather than how much worse the genocide in Israel could be under Trump.
Democrats might actually have a lower turnaround this time around.
Nah, it’s just kids parroting their parents views. I did the same thing as a child, and I’m about as far left as you can get as an adult.

And Nickelodeon is where Paw Patrol is, so higher than average right wing subscribers?
I hope anyway. I wonder what a Disney kids poll would end up as. Or a PBS Kids poll.
Well in that case, 48% still frightens me.
Don’t worry. It all comes down to the hands of like 100k voters in a few random swing states.
Some of us are trying our best in those random swing states
That’s all? I feel so much better now…

Still not getting any less frightened
