I'm always a bit amused to hear in MSM how Sanders supported candidates didn't win over the house in 2018, yet these pundits fail to emphasize the engagement of young voters in that election. And we know who, of all the candidates, appeals to young voters.
I can't put my finger on it now, but the under 40 crowd will be the largest voting block in 2020. Yes, traditionally it has skewed 50+ but that was before all the new reports on the climate Crisis finally broke through the news barrier.
Bernie has the best young surrogates. And kick ass activist celebs on his side.
There is an awakening going on!
