Young voters are far more likely than other Americans to support Palestinians. But few cite the conflict as a top source of discontent with the president.
Bernie is one of those rare people that inspires the future rather than be a leader of it. He is somewhat a leader in his role, but he won’t become president. It’s just not in the cards anymore.
You’re not wrong. But as we get older we also tend to lose the passion and fervor we used to have to fight for what we believe in. Instead, we try to convince the younger generations that they’d be better off falling in line, when in reality we’ve just been beaten down and are tired.
The reality is somewhere in between. As you say, it’s nuanced.
But (and this is probably my beaten-down cynicism) the youth vote will never matter to the degree which it should. They will never actually turn up at the polls. I’ve been hopeful and let down too many times.
Yeah, nobody has ever been popular with us except for Bernie. Connect the fucking dots.
Not sure how old you are, but I do remember that Obama was genuinely liked during his presidency.

I’m 50. I’ve been a Bernie supporter for I don’t know how long.
He’s the only one consistently making sense.

The stakes for young people to vote have never been higher but I think too many of them are suffering from brain rot engineered by social media.
lol I’m older than you and would vote for Bernie

I know that with a question like that, you lack maturity.

That was some interesting projection for sure. I suspect that this person gets away with this at dinner.
As I get older I get more and more radical, in part because I learn more ways our system is fucked up.
