Dude... I got so baked last night that Democratic Socialism started to sound good!

Hello Young People! Apparently you are not showing sufficient enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton's coronation, so the Democrats are unleashing their secret weapon to bring your vote around - Al Gore. Younger members reading this might remember him as the old dude who made that neat sci-fi epic movie about 10 years ago. He's actually here as the ambassador on one issue that polls well among your demographic, so he occasionally emerges from his energy-guzzling mansion and flies around the world in his private jet to lecture us on the dangers of... climate change. Welcome to 2016, where the party that's supposed to represent young people has decided to treat you like you're complete idiots.
Quite a few of you became interested in politics thanks to Bernie Sanders, and his "Democratic Socialism" pitch. You might have even seen this video "explaining" the benefits of Democratic Socialism. If that video sounded great to you, listen closer, and read here for a more in-depth analysis
Unfortunately if you look at the reality of how Socialism has worked in practice, the Nordic countries aren't the shining example that you've been told that they are:
People in the Nordic countries are suffering from the ill effects of the very socialism which Bernie Sanders wants to bring to America. They know it doesn’t work, and they are working hard to achieve robust, free-market reforms.A very real example that our press and people who claim to be intelligent like to ignore is Venezuela. It's literally on fire. Or perhaps you'd like to see a Progressive grocery store?Nevertheless, there are clear lessons a huge, diverse country can learn from the recent experiences of these small, homogeneous nations. The biggest lesson might surprise Bernie Sanders — socialism doesn’t work.
Then you got to watch the primary process where your votes were struck down by Superdelegates who were put in place to ensure that you did not make the wrong choice as determined by your superiors in the DNC. Some leaks conformed that it was worse than it appeared:
But first, Bernie supporters should note three things well about the uncool, unfair, and unconscionable sabotage they have been subjected to by Debbie Wasserman Schultz: If WikiLeaks had not tapped into and then publicized the Democratic National Committee emails, she would have gotten away with it. Wasserman Schultz is no criminal mastermind (to say the least): She is a functionary doing exactly what she knows she was expected to do, a small cog in a much larger machine. Third, her bad-faith malfeasance would have been exposed much earlier if a press that was interested in revealing the truth rather than turning a blind eye to it (because they approve of the goal) had done its job, or half its job, or maybe a tenth of its job.Then over the summer we learned that your champion of the people is using his wealth to give back and help others by... buying a half million dollar vacation home. and after Hillary called you a bunch of "Basement Dwellers", Bernie had your back by... defending her. And Bernie capped it off by informing you to not even think of voting for a 3rd party - get in line, do as you're told and vote for who we tell you, child.Bernie voters, you sad saps, you never had a chance. Now, we can reasonably suspect that the chance you didn’t have goes back eight years. We can also deduce that the Democratic Party is a top-down organization, not a grassroots organization. They claim to be, of course, but the power at the top has nothing to do with the will of the people in its base. It’s a club where only the opinions of a couple of members count.
You've already had a taste of what life is like under the rule of today's authoritarian Radical Leftists that have taken over the Democratic Party. How did you like Michelle Obama's school lunch program?
They're the ones who support the status quo of a school system that has failed too many of you.
How about today's toxic culture on college campuses? College is supposed to be the best years of many young people's lives, and now look at their legacy.

‘Cause they’ll gimmie stuff, free.
You beat me to it!!!
I’ll take “Brain Washing” for 1,000 Alex!
It’s a lot easier to get laid. Ask Bill. No need to take it.
Because they don’t understand the mechanics of an economy;
And we need massive growth in the private sector for them to have jobs,
not Clinton’s “investments in the middle class” rhetoric.
The more tax and regulation on the private sector, the smaller it gets.
Virtual reality is better than reality. Social justice is better than justice. Working out in an expensive gym is better than working out. Getting high and watching the boob-toob is better than going outside and doing....anything.
As long as the check clears why struggle for more?
Many of the average people 45 and under I speak with when playing sports or at a music concert/ bar are more likely to be “non-political” and anti-Trump Pro any democrat and this is in the DFW area because they plain stupid.
Free Stuff?
They all think their student loans are going to be forgiven. Then they will
be able to afford a master’s degree in social justice warfare without pulling a double shift at Chipotle.
“Thank a teacher.”
Real Patriots maintained real jobs and didn't mind the store.
Incredible incompetence. Then there are those educated into idiocy as they listen but do not think about or challenge what is taught - just repeat.
However, all of this is made easier due to a lack of God. Everyone wants to ‘do as thou wilt’ or have their own ‘truth’. So, thus believing lies makes it easier to commit sin.
Free stuff; without realizing that they are selling their souls for servititude.
