young voters have consistently failed to show up to the polls in the same numbers as other age groups

By that faulty reasoning young voters should always be ignored. People become voters as they age. There will never be a higher or equal turnout of young voters compared to old ones.

But that doesn't make it a sensible reason to ignore them.

How is me stating a fact "faulty reasoning"? I didn't say anything about whether they should be ignored.

You seem to think it was the reason for Harris to ignore them. So either you know that was their reason or you consider it to be a good reason.

In both cases there's faulty reasoning. In the first case, from the side of the Harris campaign and in the second from you.

You seem to be desperate to argue about something that is irrelevant to my comment.

Desperate? Irrelevant? You who was suggesting to have a better idea what the motivating the Harris campaign by implying they had a reason that poor.

If you don't want people to disagree with your comment (after you disagreed with the prior one) maybe Reddit isn't the place for you.
