I'm unconvinced that Millenial views are truly leftist. They're liberal on LGBTQ issues, but they're actually on the conservative side with respect to the welfare state.
The way I would put it is that values are renormalizing. Acceptance of LGBTQ is becoming a norm; ie. it's mainstream, not leftist or liberal. Same with acceptance of marijuana.
As for views on welfare, there is much credence given to the idea of Millennials leaning left or even socialist. But the recent collapse of the Sanders candidacy suggests otherwise.
The problem not being that they don't lean left, which they do, but that they didn't come out to vote in enough numbers to offset the tide of boomer moderate voters.
