Reaching out to voters? Complimenting them? Saying they can make a difference?
Smart politics, sister.
Gnarly.
I’m a reasonably well-to-do old white fart male who had a vasectomy 20 years ago. But if I were a young woman, with my civil liberties (including reproductive rights) hanging in the balance during this election, I don’t think I’d need anyone to convince me to go to the polls to vote for Clinton. As it is, I’ll be there first thing on November 8.
Never too early to start working on the reelection campaign
Thoughtfulness; it’s what’s for president.
“A smart former U.S. president – who happens to be my husband – once said there is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.”
Enjoy watching Republicans plotz?
Fact: Bill Clinton left office with a higher approval rating than Ronald Reagan.
Works every time.
It’s really quite sad how poorly informed some young voters appear to be. I think they just don’t conceive of the idea that Trump could get elected or that the rights for so many, especially themselves, really do hang in the balance. There seems to be a stubborn, erroneous belief that hard fought rights can’t be undone.
But I love that she’s doing things like this. Teen Vogue certainly isn’t my cup of tea, but I respect the fact that she’s leaving nothing at all on the table. She’s going after ever potential voter where ever she can find them. This is very smart and this kind of micro-targeting is what propelled Obama to huge victories too. Good on ya!
This is essential outreach in developing a sense among young people that Dems are not totally corrupt and useless. This is Clinton playing a long, smart game.
Tough to be Hillary,
Trumps natural charm, sunny disposition and boyish demenour will surely win him many votes among the young women…
Remarkable how differently the two campaigns are approaching the voters.
On one side, you have empowering, uplifting prose that’s hopeful about America’s future, and on the other side, we’re told we’re all dead unless Trump.
It is always important to try and educate young people about politics and I get that the cut off dates for the Millennial generation is poorly defined, but Teen Vogue to try and win the Millennial vote? People do realize that the typical start date for the Millennial generation is in the 1980 - 1983 range meaning that the oldest members are in their 30’s with most being in their 20’s? Or has Millennial just become the latest buzzword for teenagers and ceased being a generational descriptor?
Note: This isn’t a criticism of Clinton, winning the support of future voters for future elections is a worth wild cause, more skepticism at the author’s contention that this is about winning the vote of current Millennial voters as opposed to building the base for the future.
We could just start saying “the young’n’s”
My 14 year old daughter thinks he’s a moron and I really don’t talk a lot of politics around the house. My 19 year old daughter has been out of the house a lot this summer but I assume she realizes Trumps a moron too.
Maybe. Maybe she’s like this girl, smitten to the bone.
No I’m pretty sure she’s not even slightly smitten, much less to the bone.
Is Teen Vogue even en vogue among older teeners? My daughter subscribed to it mainly for the make-up articles, and that was nearly 25 years ago! Recycling the issues after she graduated college, most looked unread.
