"A new trend has emerged in American politics: The very youngest voters — 18-to-24-year-olds — say they’re more conservative than the cohort that’s just older,” according to the latest Harvard Youth Poll.

“This new trend — which is true for both genders and emerged only in the last few years — is especially pronounced with men.”

    You really can’t fathom that treating young people with respect and listening to their concerns will keep them from falling for lies in the first place?

    I guess courting anyone but decrepit old racist boomers is completely foreign to centrists, and it explains every last one of their policies.

      You act like it is the Democratic parties responsibility to inoculate against all the problems the Republicans created.

      The conservatives lost because the Democratic Party did their policies better than they could. They moved to the right and instead of trying to counter them the conservatives just went off the deep end.

      I don’t feel sorry for them nor do I applaud the direction the Democratic party went.

        I mean, if they want young people to vote for them, yeah. Of course, given their actions they don’t want young people to vote for them.

        I mean, that’s great if your only objective is to move to the right. And in centrists’ case, it is.
