The over 45 group have seen this shit show before called Bush/Cheney and are telling the country we are pissed and not going to take it anymore.

(14,565 posts)3. That is absolutely the dividing line to focus on toward November
Under 45 and 45+. Forget about the more narrow 18-29.
Hillary won 18-44 big, and lost 45+ by about 8 points. If Biden can make inroads among that 45+ group and specifically 45-64, then the 18-44 crowd will take care of itself to the point youth turnout won't really matter.
The 65+ crowd is going to move more in our direction anyway due to Silent Generation mortality since 2016. But that 45-64 group is beyond pivotal. Biden needs messaging toward that group. Get Bloomberg and his focus groups to work on that with targeted commercials.
