Are petulance & impetuosity. Of course given their voting age theyre expected to be more mature & sensible and make the better decision. We haven't seen that from them. With them its my way or the highway. You just have to let them suck it up & come to their senses on their own. No amount of concessions will do if they continue to be petulant & threaten not to vote for Biden. You can lead a horse to water but u cant make it drink.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
