The enormous margins Bernie won with among young voters is another inconvenient fact that centrists always ignore because it shatters their narrative, similar to the fact that more Bernie voters voted for HRC in 2016 than HRC voters voted for Obama in 2008.

The older generation is into Bill Clinton style centrism, with the deregulation, free trade agreements, "Third Way", and all that. But not the youth.
