Why Are Millennial Women Gravitating to Bernie Sanders?

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.”

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.”

It’s worse.

Bernie is their Mao.

These brats want us rounded up and re educated or exterminated.

They think Bernie is up to doing it.

The little girls want free stuff, just like the little boys, none of them are women, or men.

[MarMema]

Because everything will be free.

[MarMema]

That is horrific. Thanks. Where can I get it to share elsewhere?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Hell no.

[Slyfox]

Do you know how to grab a Google Image?

[MarMema]

No.

[Slyfox]

It depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to share the image with someone else like putting it in your email list you do one thing. If you want to share it with someone on this site you do another thing.

Go here in order to learn what to do when you grab an image address and scroll down to “How to add images to your post”:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3378678/posts

And now - this is how you grab and image address:

Place your cursor over the image you want to copy and double click (with a mouse) or two finger it if you have a laptop.

When you do that you will see at the bottom of the square that popped up
“Copy Image Address” Press that and you will have grabbed it. Then you can place it in the forum according to the way you have learned during the lesson at the hyperlink above.

If you want to share it on your email you press “Copy Image”

Images are a lot of fun to add to threads. Have fun.

Ironically, “Bob” looks a little like Bern with a haircut.

[PIF]

Supporters are always the first to go ... they betrayed their country once and there is no telling they won’t again ... they cannot be trusted. A tyrant would know that we are true to our values and a known quantity. We can be dealt with at anytime after all potential traitors are eliminated.

Rewind to 1964:

While attending the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People's Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. He also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

After graduating with a political-science degree, Sanders moved to Vermont, where he headed the American People's History Society, an organ for Marxist propaganda. There, he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as "America's greatest Marxist."

This subversive hero of Sanders, denounced even by liberal Democrats as a "traitor," bashed "the barons of Wall Street" and hailed the "triumphant" Bolshevik revolution in Russia.

"Those Russian comrades of ours have made greater sacrifices, have suffered more, and have shed more heroic blood than any like number of men and women anywhere on earth," Debs proclaimed. "They have laid the foundation of the first real democracy that ever drew the breath of life in this world."

In a 1918 speech in Canton, Ohio, Debs reaffirmed his solidarity with Lenin and Trotsky, despite clear evidence of their violent plunder and treachery.

Sanders still hangs a portrait of Debs on the wall in his Senate office. ..."
