I am 23, so my response is rather bias, but I seem to have been coming across this theme often in political articles and comments; being that younger voters are utterly naive and trivial and therefore there is no merit to their opinions or ideals. Granted younger people's priorities may not be totally in check, but I think my generation understands a lot more about the world and has worked a lot harder than you or other people give them credit for. There are many, many people I know, myself included, who knew very well what it means to support yourself, to work a "real" manual labor, back-braking job, after your day job as an intern where you make no money whatsoever, go to school, volunteer your time at a nursing home or walk for breast cancer or involve yourself in a neighborhood cleanup, be a member of various student groups, etc, while paying for your rent, utilities, car, car insurance, groceries, etc, all on your own. This generation has grown up with both parents working outside the home, so that they've had to take on responsibilities in their households, look after their siblings, perhaps even help with their family's finances. So to underestimate their political stances because you think that their main concern is their sister taking their clothes, and to think that $50,000 dollars is a moderate sum when 90% of the world makes between US $7500 & US $75 /family /year indicates to me that you yourself have a distorted grasp on reality.
