Volpe also compared the current results with the status of voter support during the 2016 presidential election:
“Compared to this point in the last presidential cycle, young Democratic voters are more engaged and likely to have an even greater impact in choosing their party’s nominee.”
Why Do Young Democrats Love Sanders?
As a self-professed Democratic-socialist, Sanders talks about free stuff very frequently. It’s actually part of his political brand. Sanders, and other Democrats like him, believe that college and healthcare ought to be free. On the surface, this sounds great, especially for young people who are still in college and have yet to enter the real world.
In reality, free stuff is never free. There is always someone who foots the bill. In most cases, that someone turns out to be American taxpayers. This is something which conservatives regularly point out. There are no free lunches. Many young Democrats are not aware of this, which can explain at least some of the support for Sanders.
