I am not sure whether the younger people would vote for a party which only provides them with freebies.
Depends whom you ask, I think.
I have talked to people from the United States who are fairly young and mostly supportive of democrats, and they have told me their healthcare system is essentially unfair or "broken" and they social security should not be cut.
But that is only what I have heard, they are mostly in favor of increasing taxes to the wealthy in order to decrease de deficit, some people may call it socialism or communism or even punishing success.
Still expecting to see whether Republicans shifty increase the debt ceiling this summer or not.
