I'll say this. Dems will win if they nominate someone fairly young. If it's another damn baby boomer Trump wins easily. That's my prediction. The under 40 crowd is sick and tired of the damn boomers who are the most selfish and entitled generation in the history of civilization. Gabbard would get that vote out in droves.
yes, young voters hated Bernie.
NOT!
don't confuse young, with appealing to youth.
young voters want change in the current direction of things.
if they actually voted, they would have a lot more influence though.
that said, people confuse "generation" with age group.
generations are mostly all the same.
it's age groups that differ.
today's 22 yr old will act like today's 70 yr old when they are 70.
in the yr 2080, a 22 yr old will act much like today's 22 yr old.
in the yr 2128, that 2080 22 yr old will act like today's 70 yr old.
as the great philosopher Mike from Breaking Away once said,
"You know, I used to think I was a really great quarterback in high school. Still think so, too. Can't even bring myself to light a cigarette 'cause I keep thinkin' I gotta stay in shape. You know what really gets me, though? I mean, here I am, I gotta live in this stinkin' town, and I gotta read in the newspapers about some hot-shot kid, new star of the college team. Every year, it's gonna be a new one. Every year it's never gonna be me. I'm just gonna be Mike. Twenty year-old Mike. Thirty year-old Mike. Old, mean old man Mike. These college kids out here - they're never gonna get old or out of shape 'cause new ones come along every year. And they're gonna keep calling us 'Cutters'. To them, it's just a dirty word. To me, it's just somethin' else I never got a chance to be".
