A lot of young people are FOR privatization. It is NOT a losing issue.
Do young people vote though?
In general the people who are most apt to be receptive to this plan are people under the age of 35, and they do not make up the bulk of people that turn out to vote.
This is not to say they won't in maybe 15 years, but with the Supreme Court on the line, I'm not so sure it's something I want to risk today
