The Clinton campaign has struggled to win support among young voters of every description, including traditional Democratic Party voters: women, African-Americans, people of Latinamerican or Hispanic origin, etc.
Meanwhile, her septuagenarian opponent Bernie Sanders has enjoyed remarkable support from voters young enough to be his grandchildren.
The AOL Email login-screen ad bought by her campaign is either an act of monumental cluelessness about how to reach those young voters, or (more likely), it's an indication that the campaign feels the need to double-down on the older voters who constitute the bulk of Hillary Clinton supporters.
Does no one at the Clinton campaign know that AOL's mail users are predominantly people who signed up back in the days of telephone modems and software on CDs? There are probably more people who voted for Clinton in New Hampshire than there are millennials using AOL for their email in the entire country.

You can do that right on the welcome screen without signing into the AOL portal at all.
The she-devil is desperate for that power.
My mom does! Today is her birthday too - 89 and a former Obamadtone who is going Trump! LLL
Wow ... so glad I dropped ao-he@# ages ago.
This is like late night talk show host joke fodder.
I suspect that most of the AOL email accounts are held by those who are as old or older than Hillary ‘The Aged Poorly One’.
If the desire was to reach the young as the headline purports, this is another of Hillary’s failure to communicate.
Well played!
lol
Post of the Month.
Heck, they deactivated my account just because I haven’t used it in the last 15 years. The accumulated spam must have been tremendous.
Her campaign is going after her natural and the traditional Democrat constituency, the AOL crowd who are overwhelmingly dead or nearly there. Based on the nomination being so blatantly fixed in her favor and the groundswell of support Sanders is getting from the sincere yet muddle headed yutes it’s possible he could attract a sizeable vote on the Socialist ticket in November. That is barring his having an unfortunate accidental multiple stabbing in his shower at home between now and the convention.
Is boing boing something like The Onion?
AOL?!?!?!
Maybe she’ll advertise on one of those flip boards that are on stage between vaudeville shows.
I’ve got an old AOL disk hanging with other old software in the garden to scare the birds away.
Tell your mom Happy Birthday, may she have many more! :)
At least they did not buy the log in screen of compuserve.
Not too long i was doing tech support for an aol product. Literally everyone that called was 70 plus and most in their 80’s.
