Clinton Losing Millennial Support Nationally and in Key States

[Tsiyu]

75. Millennials have much better BS detectors than boomers

If Hillary wants to woo them, she needs to get real and cater some ads directly to their demographic.

She needs to highlight the differences between her party and the other party.

And front page reddit threads like this one do not help one bit.

Millennials feel screwed by BOTH parties, and they don't have the discernment or experience to sort out that Democrats will do far more to help them than Republicans will.

The Clinton campaign needs those kids, and she needs to reach them with honesty and a clear message about how she will help them.

To the person saying "weed" is their biggest concern, that's a bunch of horse shit, no offense intended. They are drowning in student loans, unable to move forward as earlier generations did, and they are SICK OF GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION AND DECEIT.

But promising to legalize cannabis will certainly make a few millennials show up at the polls. She has to decide whether protecting pharmcos and the DEA is going to get her more votes than promising an end to the failed drug war. This has less to do with wanting to use weed than with wanting to see an end to mass incarceration of young people over a goddamned plant, and the resultant cost to young people and young families when we jail people for victimless crimes. Kids DO think that is a bunch of crap only benefitting the rich, and they see Hillary as continuing that farce and disaster of a public policy.

The ball is in her court.
