There are already several theories circulating to explain the gap between Sanders and Clinton when it comes to young women.
Feminist luminary Gloria Steinem said just last Friday on Bill Maher’s show (then somewhat un-said Sunday) that young women are just going where “the boys†are.
Author Jill Fillipovic followed up with a riff on Steinem’s thinking in Cosmopolitan, arguing that, “In this primary, Sanders is the guy stuff. Clinton is the girl stuff.â€
She argued that young women often feel pressured to make a show of liking cool guy stuff instead of lame girl stuff.
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz mused in a January New York Times interview that young women not rallying behind Clinton are merely complacent, while Joan Walsh noted in The Nation that focusing on Sanders taking the lion’s share of youth votes effectively erases those young women who do support Clinton. Speaking at a New Hampshire rally Monday night, actress and model Emily Ratajkowski (who is 24 years old) put it like this:
“I want a female president so that I can say to my daughter one day, you too can become president of the United States. I believe in that symbolic importance. But I have seen symbolism in election, symbolism that fails the people that so desperately need the action to make change. I want my first female president to be more than a symbol, I want her to have politics that can revolutionize.â€

You aren’t complaining, I hope. He’s far better than Her Thighness
Because they like the idea of being rape-groped in the mall parking lot.
1: Because they are hard-wired Democrats and would not look to Repubs or Conservatives for anything they can relate to. After all, Republicans, per their conditioning, want to force them into slavery by forcing them to have babies and deny them contraceptives and abortion. Their greatest victory is to abort their “accidental” children.
2: Because if they have more than 70 IQ points they realize that every word HRC says is a lie or a pandering meme. Even if she is a woman (allegedly) Look, if a rational person has not by this time come to the decision that HRC is a dedicated criminal and pathological liar, then they are beyond the reach of any reason. They are voting based strictly upon emotion and think that HRC has been through the wringer, poor thing. It’s an empathy vote. I make no kind of broad sexist statement that they identify with someone who has miserably failed at everything political or diplomatic they have ever done other than to enrich themselves with shameless grift and to escape prosecution therefor.
3: They are scared to death of the diminished career opportunities they see in a weakening economy and the ones who wish to eventually get into a traditional marriage are seeing the effect on males of the relentless eunuch conditioning of the men they will allow themselves to befriend. They can comfort themselves all they want with the vile gobbledygook their professors stuff their impressionable minds with, but deep down they see their career and biological dreams being crushed.
And so they are voting for “something different”. It would not matter if it was a horned toad. They wouldn’t vote Republican under any conditions whatsoever. They cannot escape their conditioning.
They are part of the latest corps of the FSA.
1). A Socialist
2). Not Hillary
I got fed up with it and watched The Treasure of Oak Island one more time. That will put you to sleep.
Lead in drinking water.
Because that’s where all the boyz are?
[[Why Are Millennial Women Gravitating to Bernie Sanders?]]
Because they are desperate for attention, and since ‘liking an older guy’ is now ‘all the rage’ they jump on the bandwagon hoping to be noticed-
And it passed the Snopes test.
I think you nailed it Iron, this is the product of 40 years in the welfare state.
Because they heard that Jewish men make good surrogate husbands.
(Anyone notice that Bernie was the son of Polish immigrants and not Jewish ones?)
They want free stuff.
He promises more freebies than Hillary. And she’s a nasty creature whom even other females don’t like.
"In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism," said Sanders.
"And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you're going to see counties all over the world...they're going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict."
Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America's national security and to security of the world. ..."
