Barack Obama is the favorite democratic candidate for the majority of the younger generations, I'm going to try and explain to you why he appeals to young people.
Obama makes the young feel important
Obama tells that we matter, that our vote is important and realizes that we play a key role in America's future. We like feeling important and he makes us feel proud to be his supporters.
We can relate to Obama
Obama is young, we can relate more easily to him and his opinions, some of the other candidates feel distant and we find it hard to relate to them.
We like the underdog
Obama may not be the underdog anymore but he was at the begging, for some reason young people including myself are always willing the underdog to win. Even though he isn't the underdog anymore we feel that helped him to prove himself as a real threat to the other candidates and we will continue to support him.
We want change, so does Obama
Young people love the idea of something new, we love the fact it will be a challenge to achieve the changes. Change is exiting!
Obama is all over the internet
Obama has youtube videos, blogs forums, chatrooms. He is communicating to us in a way that we like and understand. The other candidates have internet campaigns to but they are not as complete.
Other young people like him
One of the main reasons we like Obama is because our friends like him too, you have no idea how much young people our influenced by their friends!
Obama is the most consistent anti-war candidate
At a time when young people are against war, Obama is consistently the most anti-war candidate.
Obama is inspirational
His speeches are always powerful, captivating and inspirational. Young people want to be inspired.
Young people like Obama, mainly for these reasons! Thanks for reading!
