Corbyn went out all across the Country and met and talked with young people, answered any questions they had while just showing that he actually cared at the same time. That's 'connecting' with young people.
Theresa May announced a snap election, told everyone she was ''strong and stable'' and the only way forward, hid and then sat back and waited for her landslide victory. As we now know that didn't work out for her.
What she tried to do was clearly 'manipulation'.
As i was saying, two very different words.

He was pandering to the young as he was after their votes. You can dress it up all you like but he knew what he was doing and it paid off, although not quite enough. Words are easy - until they have become actions they mean very little.
All politians do it at every election - many youngsters probably don't really get that as they have never actually lived it. The false promises, they are part of the 'game'.
