Many candidates run campaigns centered around emotions. They promise to "empower" and "embolden" hearkening "change." In essence, they say a thousand cliche words that lack true substance but still rally their cheering voters.
As young adults leave the proverbial nest, they embark on a journey to discover their identity outside of their parents' home. The alluring message of socialism feeds upon this. They are told that they are the "new generation," the only ones capable of thinking outside of the box their parents have been trapped in. These messages inflate their pride from an emotional standpoint. They do not vote logically, no. That is for the old. They vote from the new generational enlightenment that only the young understand.
I do believe that more young voters are liberal while older voters are more conservative. The young voters are still romanced by the idealistic utopia presented to them by the left and captivated by the "uniqueness" of their generation. Older voters have realized that the world is not run by emotions but by rationale, and, as such, vote more conservatively.
