Bernie Sanders may have captured the hearts of young voters in 2016 and be leading them now, but one observer of youth politics thinks that that advantage may evaporate by jonward11
“His appeal to young people in 2016 was conditional on who he was running against. … If you thought Hillary [Clinton] was boring, unexciting, cautious, timid, a flip-flopper, Bernie was the vehicle,” said Peter Hamby, host of the weekly Snapchat political show “Good Luck America.”
But 20 percent were undecided, and that’s part of the reason that Hamby said younger voters may end up gravitating toward a different candidate. A Monmouth survey of Iowa voters in early April showed former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is 37, at 12 percent with 18-49 year olds, compared to Biden’s 16 percent, and Sanders’s 18 percent.
Hamby said that between “Good Luck America” and his regular column for Vanity Fair, “some days I feel like I inhabit two completely different worlds.” The majority of the Snapchat audience is 13 to 24 years old, while the Vanity Fair audience and the twittersphere in which political conversation takes place skews older.
“We and our political community kind of live in a different universe than the one that a lot of our society lives in. … Power elites in the media and politics … need to understand a little bit better that a lot of people just aren’t reading and watching them, or listening to them, and they have to figure out ways to meet viewers, listeners and voters where they’re actually voting,” Hamby said.
Similar rules apply for politicians, Hamby said. When it comes to the 2020 field, “attention today is the No. 1 currency in our politics, like it or not.”
