So why are young people (who don't vote) for Bernie while older voters are not for Bernie? [View all]
You think it might have something to do with younger people not having been exposed to anti-socialist propaganda while older voters have been there, seen that? That's what I think. I am an older voter and don't think democratic socialism is a bad thing, but I also have seen what people can do to demonize it and make it sound evil. Older folks know that and how easy it would be for Trump to hang that collar on Bernie, so that's why they won't vote for him.
Bernie, in his speech today, sounded like he was mystified about how people like his message but won't vote for him as the messenger. Well, that's it.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
