Opinions: Washington Post:

"Millennials could push American politics to the left — or totally upend them"

According to this Washington post article the number of millennials going democrratic is increasing.

So as of 2017 millennials were about 59% Democrat to 32% Republican (Pew Poll), more now I think, Scientists are 80% Democrat and only 6% Republican (Pew Poll) and women are about 66% Democrat and 33% Republican.

And both women and kids are pushing the party to the left e.g Women and kids are donating to Sanders more than any other candidate (David Pakman) and Sanders is the most far left of all the candidates.

"As of 2017, 59 percent of millennial registered voters either were Democrats or leaned toward the Democratic Party, and only 32 percentwere Republicans or Republican-leaners, according to the Pew Research Center. That’s the biggest break in favor of Democrats among registered voters of any generation: Both Gen X and baby boomers are more evenly split, while the Silent Generation is majority Republican or Republican-leaning.

Democrats believe these young voters will eventually turn out to the polls at higher rates, replace the baby boomers and the Silent Generation, and give the blue team an unending string of victories. Republicans alternate between reassuring themselves that younger voters will age into conservatism once they start having kids and panicking that young voters will never age out of liberalism — or never have those grandkids the older voters who dominate GOP have been waiting for."
