That explains why Bernie Sanders attracted so much support from the millennials. He preached Santa Claus socialism with a benevolent government taking money from the “rich” and “sharing” it with everybody. The economics ignorant millennials believed this BS and fail to understand that socialism only guarantees shared misery and loss of liberty.

When you have over $100,000 of college loan debt and a $40,000 job, Bernie looks good.

Bernie Sanders earned support for the same reason Donald Trump did, by being an anti-establishment "outsider" and don't forget, Trump still won white Millennials.

I know plenty of Sanders-supporting Democrats. It wasn't Bernie's "free stuff for everyone" as much that attracted them. They just didn't like Hillary Clinton. More accurately, they loathed her.
