Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ campaign has taken to social media to try to bridge the gap, but young voters should n’t be so eager to support her get-out-the-vote tactics. Young voters should n’t be so quick to applaud her get-out-the-vote tactics.  ,  ,
What started as Harris jumping on the “brat summer” bandwagon has since grown to a full-fledged ( and cringe ) meme crusade, with the campaign trying to discredit Harris for his poor record and lack of accountability by following the” chronically online” voter trends.  ,  ,
Fresh voters are directly impacted by many of the Biden-Harris administration’s problems, making the transition from an adolescent to an adult more challenging than ever. With the cost of a college education and rising youth unemployment rates at the same time, the price of groceries keeps rising, and sky-high interest rates make it nearly difficult for young people to own a house.  , But owing to memes, younger voters may be duped into casting a Harris-Walz voting.  ,  ,
The July 21 Charli XCX speech on X, “kamala IS brat”, was the blog heard’ round the earth, with 56, 000 posts and 333, 000 wants to time. Harris ‘” commitment to the little,” as young people may put it, was sparked by her campaign’s focus on all feelings and no substance.  ,  ,
Although this approach does get loves and reposts, the point is to finish her crumbling strategy and embarrassing history as vice president in a pretty bow for the country’s most recent voting group. She and her team hope that young people are so absorbed in their phones that they do n’t consider asking the eminently important question,” What will this candidate do to improve my life?” Posting funny memes does n’t count.  ,  ,
Kamala HQ consistently content Pro Z-oriented TikToks despite more than 100 times since Harris ‘ official press conference. Instead of talking about the country’s most pressing problems, the battle never misses the chance to use the week new popular trend or sound to communicate with young people.  ,  ,
Young voters ‘ concerns are comparable to those of the rest of the nation.  ,” Across all findings, the top-of-mind issues for younger voters are not so different from the general public and, at first glance, may actually make more sense for voters three times their age”, according to a Framework surveys of voters time 18-30 released in May. ” The top issues among young voters are inflation ( 73 % ), healthcare ( 71 % ), jobs and the economy ( 70 % ), government spending and the federal deficit ( 63 % ), corruption ( 63 % ), and Social Security and Medicare ( 62 % )” . ,  ,
These are true problems. However, Kamala HQ is active posting meaningless TikToks, like this picture featuring someone making tacos, with the caption,” Kamala Harris when it comes to making an financial plan that will boost the thick class”. The actual economic plan that young voters are wondering about, however, is nowhere to be found. So much for “providing context”, as the account’s bio claims it does. the vice presidential candidate and governor of Minnesota. Tim Walz is no better.

Priorities.  ,  ,
Young people, whether they go to college or head straight into the workforce, should be wary of the Harris strategy. Almost 60 percent of Americans aged 18-34 are on TikTok, according to a Pew Research Center study. Instead of addressing the administration’s broken policies, Harris ‘ team is betting on these voters ‘ simple-mindedness to win over a candidate for hiring a few media-literate interns.
Polls reinforce that the country’s youngest adults are affected by the same issues as the country’s oldest. To be courted with” You think you just fell out of a coconut tree,” is offensive to young Americans like me, who share the real concerns of the rest of the country. rather than a comprehensive border security strategy.  ,
Harris ‘ media strategy attempts to ignore the context of everything that came before it. Do n’t take the bait. Newly qualified voters, college students, and young adults must face the facts: This is a presidential election, not a vote on who should be the next member of the Hype House.  ,  ,
