The Democrats are not young people friendly

[Classical_Liberal]

There are many politicallty active young people, but they are involved in movements the Democrats are scared of. Like antiglobalization, and the peace movement. They liked Clinton because he proposed National Health Care, and Americorp, programs which concern them. The DLC has abondoned all those issues. They aren't that concerned about perscription drugs or social security for the obvious reason that they are not old people. Any democrat that attracts the young is accused of being George McGovern, and Nixon rhetoric is pulled out denouncing that candidate as attracting "shouters" and rabble rousers. Some of it is lack of civics lessons, and lack of community, but that is the education system and the community we created for them. Our inability to attract young people is really not the fault of the young.
