I don't see any millennials or zoomers rallying behind either of them. Closest we have is Bernie but even he took a bit of a hit with his reputation when he decided to endorse Clinton and Biden instead of sticking to his initial ideals.
Perhaps, but it is not fair to say that Sanders didn't stick to his initial ideals when he decided to endorse Clinton and Biden. He stuck to his ideals, and recognized that Clinton and Biden were much closer to them than Trump is.
Biden still leads about 7% in the national polls, and about 4% in the swing states that will decide the electoral vote. It may not matter if young people don't rally behind Biden, if they still vote for him, or if they aren't enough of the voters to keep him from winning because they don't vote or go third party.
Sometimes the crisis makes the man. If Biden steps up to the times and leads well, he will make himself into a gray champion whether we had ever thought about him as such or not. If he doesn't, then we may still see other gray champions arise in this 4T, as Bernie has done, and they may not be president.
For my part, although the difference between Biden and Sanders is great, and I prefer Sanders, the difference between Biden and Trump is stark and huge. I like many others would vote for a dirty washrag before voting for the drumpturd.
It's fun for me to follow the polls.
