So we alienate the old moderates and left leaning Republicans who might not vote anymore but replace them with far left leaning youth who will be voting for the next several decades?

Well, golly....we call that a revolution.

Those ultra liberal youths will become more and more moderate, many even conservative, as they get older. Look back at any of the big youth movements from the roaring twenties to post ww2, to the hippie movement. They all eventually settled down. I once had a history teacher telle he was a diehard liberal until he became a father and then swung the other way. That is and will be the story of many.

Actually the average has moved to the left, not the people becoming more conservative. Ask the hippies whether they support what they supported back then and on avg, you'll see. Since your average is skewed for modern times, you can't really compare it that way. You have to ask the people back then what they believed and compare it to what they believe right now.
