'Members of Biden’s inner circle are convinced he is in better shape with former Sanders voters than Clinton was'
How do you do, fellow kids?

In 2016, there was a lot to yell about. The retelling of the campaign devolved into a highly tense two-day finger-pointing session capped by one senior Hillary Clinton adviser’s volley, “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did.
This ambiguity has led Democrats to their strategically safest conclusion: They might as well step things up. So in recent weeks, Biden ramped up his digital-outreach hiring and announced the launch of a new, discrete effort within his campaign to marshal resources specifically around organizing young voters.
The members of this crowd acknowledge findings like the ones circulated recently by NextGen and the Democratic Global Strategy Group, showing that young voters still don’t know much about Biden and view him as a typical old-school politician. But they are convinced this is fairly easy to fix. It’s often as simple as publicly comparing Biden’s record to Trump’s, they believe.
Still, some of the usual tools for organizing students may be of limited use in the coming months if colleges begin the fall semester virtually. Wessel, whose group has a major presence on swing-state campuses, pointed out that most students would still likely be in the states where they go to school, but at home.
This has largely involved policy outreach. Shortly after Sanders dropped out, a coalition of eight groups representing young progressives sent Biden a letter arguing that he needed to stop messaging around a return to normalcy and pushing him to make drastic policy changes toward the left on a wide range of issues.
