Bernie Sanders does phenomenally well with young voters even though his pitch is “elderly figure with deeply-held values and a strong moral compass.” I don’t understand why Hillary Clinton is trying so hard (yet failing) to pull off the “just one of the kids” act when she’s only six years younger than him.

In terms of Youth Analogies, I’d liken Bernie to the rad economics teacher you had in senior year who is both aware that he is extremely old and that his students are adults who are more than ready to get out of high school and so talks candidly and frankly, endearing him to his pupils, whereas Hillary is the principal who tries to “keep it real” by flipping through a Youth Slang Thesaurus and rapping during pep rallies
