In reply to the discussion: Why young people are right about Hillary Clinton [View all]JonLeibowitz
(6,282 posts)37. Oh Bullshit. It is like I am reading Free Republic!
I am a 24 year old Sanders supporter who worked part time through college along with studying full time to earn my undergraduate degree with highest honors. Was this all given to me? Oh and I have no college debt so Sanders' plan wouldn't even help me personally but I recognize it as necessary for our generation. Previous generations had affordable education for the jobs they needed for a middle class life. That is no longer the case.
You also missed all the other reasons young people are overwhelmingly supporting Sanders, like wall street corruption, campaign finance (inextricably linked to financial regulation) and the environment.
Your entire post is bullshit.
