Jeremy Etelson knocked doors for Barack Obama in 2012, served as a College Democrats chapter president through the 2016 election cycle and voted for Joe Biden for president in 2020. But he won't be casting his ballot for Biden this year. |

"Biden is sitting on top of a seismic shift in the political parties' voting coalitions," Etelson writes. Biden is losing support among young voters, typically among the Democrats' most loyal voters. They're souring on him not just because of his support for Israel's war against Hamas. It's also the high inflation rate, mounting government debt and the crisis at the border. Meanwhile, Etelson writes, "Biden has failed to secure legislation to codify abortion rights and same-sex marriage, leaving those issues to the court." Etelson believes voters want a president "who can stand up to the corporate lobbies and transcend partisanship to execute meaningful reform." "Biden demonstrably is not that president."

Op-eds exploring key issues affecting the U.S. and world: |

By Jonathan Berry, former clerk for Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito |
I clerked for Justice Alito. He is unfailingly kind, professional, thoughtful and conscientious of what is and is not his proper role. That was on display in the supposedly damning video. Likewise, Mrs. Alito is a generous and exuberant woman. When I read about these exchanges, I knew that the norms and trust with which they share their private lives had been breached. | | |

Another blow to American democracy from the Supreme Court |
|
|
By Kim Wehle, author of "How to Read the Constitution — and Why" |
As Americans prepare for one of the most consequential elections in our history — with at least two Supreme Court nominations on the table for the next presidency — it's vital to understand that the source of the structural imbalances in our electoral system isn't Congress. It's the conservatives on the court. |

By Arturo McFields, former Nicaraguan ambassador to the Organization of American States |
Mexico and Brazil represent the two largest democracies in Latin America. Their inclination toward global tyrannies is damaging and dangerous. They have preferred to stain their hands with blood defending Putin and his latent threats in the face of an unprecedented nuclear conflict. |

By Greer Birgham, writer and consultant |
In many ways, the specter of RFK has always followed Biden. How could it not? The two men claim the same small space carved out of the American political environment. Our country seldom allows its leaders to project anything but strength. But occasionally, it makes an exception. |
