I am with you, I think it's a dumb idea. I believe we will suffer from this when the extreme right gains more political ground because of it.

I don't think that is what this article seems to want to say. The greens aren't any radical left party anywhere (except maybe in the US where politics seem to be firmly rooted right).

I think the article makes the point of listening to young women more, who have mostly been forgotten in our discourse of political disparity in different age groups.

You are most likely living in a bubble. Cherish it, but don't forget, that there are a lot of people that feel different from you.

I do have the same experience. My social circle is very much open, tolerant and absolutely hates what the GOP in America and right leaning/right wing parties in Europe are doing and proposing. I know almost no young people that support strong conservative or right leaning policy and talking points. I am however also in contact with a different group of people (through my countrys military/military reserve), that very much leans into those right talking points and favours more conservative policy.

If you can, engage with them and try to understand them and help them understand your point.
