They're trying to re-create the 60's success they had with kids. Don't think it's going to work.

The young being leftists is new, it started in 1992.

Nixon won 52% of the 18 to 29 year old vote in 1972.

In 1968 the Democrats won 47% of the (21) to 29 year old vote, in 1972, they won 46% of the 18 to 29 age group, in 1976, after Watergate, and with the weak, moderate (and under suspicion) Ford, against what appeared to be a social conservative Democrat with a strong military back ground, the Democrats picked up 51% of the 18 to 29 year old vote.

In 1980 Democrats got 44% of that age group, 1984-40%, 1988-47%.

The reason we won the youth vote in the 60's, even 1972, was that back then young adults voted pretty much as their parents did. The 60s changed all that, by design--to encourage the "youts" to rebel against their parents and vote for the leftwing asshole of the day. The rest is history.
