    What makes you think the democracts have any interest in the “younger generation?” The average age of democrat leadership is OLDER then republicans. Voter turn out among the younger generation is also abysmal because the dem do not appeal to the younger generation at all.

      I didn’t say they’re successful at it, just that seems to be who they’re trying to appeal to, at least in their public statements, such as:

      • LGBTQ+ support
      • minimum wage increases - I hope this mostly impacts younger voters
      • free education/student loan forgiveness
      • abortion

      Those are things young people care about. Whether they’re successful is another issue.
