    If it takes pandering to get people to vote the first time, they might do it on their own the second time.

Perhaps, which illustrates the problem. My impression is that millennials believe that they are voting on behalf of the politicians, when in fact, they are voting on behalf of themselves. The politicians, media, (and probably many other factors), have created a illusion of a top-down power structure, when in reality, it exists upon the whims of those that vote.
