"Age doesn't just divide Republicans and Democrats from each other, in other words; age divides young leftists from both Republicans and Democrats. Democrats under 30 have almost no measurable interest in the party's front-runner. Democrats over 65 have almost no measurable interest in the favored candidate of the younger generation. This is not a picture of Democrats smoothly transforming into the 'party of the young.' It's evidence that age—perhaps even more than class or race—is now the most important fault line within the Democratic Party."
Derek Thompson at The Atlantic argues that the "young left has become a sort of third party."
