(9,988 posts)Politically-active younger (by which I mean under 55) people these days are more likely to be on Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, maybe Facebook, and other more centralized sites.
The way to recruit is to offer more of what left/liberal politically-engaged younger people are looking for. From my Gen X POV I think they're mostly concerned about just being able to afford to live decently. Rents are too high, wages are too low, most people with degrees are in so much debt they won't pay it off before retirement (because of obscene interest rates and aforementioned too-low wages and too-expensive housing), and medical care is out of reach for too many. They are also very concerned and angry about racism and police brutality, and about the terrifyingly fast deterioration of the rights of women and LGBTQ+ people.
They don't care so much about individual politicians and their personalities.
