They think they have to be liberal like their friends. They none of them can cotton to Hillary. Their media exposes them to Bernie (both propaganda / trolling but also real people they know). He seems likeable and genuine. He will pay for their college somehow.
I have two young male voters in the house, one voting for the first time. I have to work hard to share the truths about Berntopia, and I can tell you, I can’t rain down upon them purely negative or they would probably vote for the Bern. I have to tell them that yes, I think he’s a good guy. He’s genuine. He sees the political corruption. He believes in his message. And wow, his utopia sounds like a cool place to live. And then I explain socialism to them and how it ALWAYS FAILS, every time it’s tried, and human nature will always Have socialism failing and working for some evil elites only.
And then we wonder together why Bernie doesn’t know this. Why does he think his plan will work when none ever has. Why he thinks socialist medicine works in other countries. I’ve lived in other countries and medicine is SHODDY in all of them compared to here. Not that it’s so great here any more, but we have our spots. I honestly do not know, and would like to, how Bernie can be so ignorant in thinking his plan will work where all other socialism on any large scale has already proved an utter failure.
He is like the woman, wife number 6 of some guy, who is SURE this time she can change him and it will work out.
“And then I explain socialism to them and how it ALWAYS FAILS, every time it’s tried, and human nature will always Have socialism failing and working for some evil elites only.”
Oh, they have a canned answer for that question: “We are going to do it correctly this time!”
