The parties don't address their issues because they don't vote. Politicians address the issues of the people that actually vote for them.

I'm 23, almost 24. I would bet that the 18-30 age group watches less reality television than any other, and I've never been drunk. The point is, generalizing America's young voters through your experiences alone may be inaccurate.
Most of my friends keep up with politics enough to hold a decent conversation and vote in the Presidential elections at least. One of the major gripes (in my experiences) from educated young voters today is that the major candidates are all too similar.
