I think it’s more the case of many young people who feel like the odds are against them.....student loans, ridiculous real estate prices....they think they need help and will never get to live the dream. Couple this with the crony capitalism that is out there (let’s face it, there is a lot of corporate greed) and I understand how these young people are falling for the crap being peddled by The Bern. He is giving their feelings of anger at corruption and being behind the 8 ball, a voice. Sadly, couple this with the complete lack of education when it comes to socialism, and the bilge being pumped into them through leftist public education, and I actually get it.
Bernie is sowing hopelessness & jealousy to the young & pitting them again successful people. He tells them they will never be wealthy because the system is against them.
There is no hope I his message. No personal responsibility.
I don’t because they are believing a lie.
I agree they have hurdles to overcome, but every generation has. If they actually get a degree in something useful, they can pay back their student loans. And only certain portions of the country have high real estate prices. And I agree there’s a ton of corporate greed. But that doesn’t stop anybody from pursuing their dreams. I think the corporations are more of the socialistic nature, fascism actually because we have government controls in a lot of cases. But the corporations are more of a liberal nature, with all their leftist causes.
There’s still more opportunity in this country than in most other places. The problem is people don’t think they need to work for it. They want some kind of get rich quick scheme and if they don’t get it they look at other people that have worked for years and saved and think it’s unfair that those people have more to show for their efforts. Yep, the dumbing-down has taking the desired effect. And now they’re ready to vote for a communist. All part of Alinsky’s plan.
