Users frequently leverage TikTok features to add commentary to his posts in mocking ways. After the campaign posted a video of Mr. Biden criticizing Mr. Trump, saying, “Over my dead body will he cut social security,” some users responded with videos that called attention to the president’s age — receiving more views than the original.

So far the article doesn't have many comments. This is third from the top.

I was in grad school during 9/11 and through the invasion of Iraq. In the run up to the war we marched almost every weekend across California. There were tens of thousands of us across the US, and the scale of those global protests paled in comparison to the unprecedented magnitude of the protests happening every week demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

What this administration appears to not understand is that young people do not see a Democrat in power they way the Boomer generation does. They see what we saw 20 years ago: an extremely violent group of war hawks funding a horrific massacre, almost identical to the war on Iraq. Add TikTok to this mix and just forget it: they will simply not vote for what they see. I wouldn’t either if I was 25 today.

The ultimatum from the youth vote is very simple: force a ceasefire in Gaza now, or lose to Trump in November. This was also true a month ago but thanks to Michael Moore and the Uncomitted vote in Michigan, the White House has partially woken up to that reality. But they have very little time left, just like the children of Gaza do. And young people will have no problem whatsoever staying home and watching Biden lose. Biden better wake up to that fact, and quick.

They can't do it folks. The people, beautiful people, they come to me and they say "I think these Democrats need to stop with the genocide or they're gonna lose the youth vote." And they're right, folks they know what they're talking about because I talk to the smartest people, but I tell them, listen, the age of imperialism brings a nasty, nasty cloud of irrationality to the imperialist nations, and they'll swallow themselves whole before they stop, believe me, they walk towards their own destruction with their eyes on the floor following a trail of gold. And that nasty irrationality, many people criticize it, I tell them it can be a wonderful thing. They say "we're suffering, the people are suffering across the world" and I go, look, it's true, but we know that present conditions are not eternal. There was a guy who said they were, he said "nothing will ever change", and folks, we know his name don't we. He was WRONG.
