Young adults -- those between the ages of 18 and 29 -- have typically aligned themselves with the Democratic Party, but they have become substantially more likely to do so since 2006....
A major reason young adults are increasingly likely to prefer the Democratic Party is that today's young adults are more racially and ethnically diverse than young adults of the past. U.S. political preferences are sharply divided by race, with nonwhite Americans of all ages overwhelmingly identifying as Democrats or leaning Democratic.
Gallup estimates that 54% of 18- to 29-year-olds are non-Hispanic white and 45% nonwhite, compared with 71% non-Hispanic white and 29% nonwhite in 1995, the first full year Gallup measured Hispanic ethnicity.
In 2013, 62% of nonwhite Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 were Democrats or Democratic leaners, while 25% were Republicans or Republican leaners. That 37-point Democratic advantage, though sizable, is slightly lower than the average 42-point advantage from 1995 through 2013.
But young adults are not more Democratic solely because they are more racially diverse. In recent years, young white adults, who previously aligned more with the Republican Party, have shifted Democratic. From 1995 to 2005, young whites consistently identified as or leaned Republican rather than Democratic, by an average of eight points. Since 2006, whites aged 18 to 29 have shown at least a slight Democratic preference in all but one year, with an average advantage of three points.
Young Americans' Affinity for Democratic Party Has Grown

If the trend continues, and there's no reason to think it won't, the women/child haters, homophobes, the racists are endangered species.

This is great news. I dream of a country without the republican party.
Why do you two even give this piece of fucking shit any recognition by responding to this kind of garbage?
You can't be THAT bored
Young people want to live in a first world country.
-They want good infrastructure
-Investment in their country
-Science
-Good education
-Reform in areas that need it
They understand that the republicans offer nothing besides to tar this country down. I say this as someone that believes in some of the old republican ideas.. So it doesn't make me happy.

You dream of a country with one party rule? Then i'm sure you'd be in heaven in China.
