This conversation is always taken to the extreme. COMMUNIST SOCIALIST LIBTARD is yelled and is meant to invoke fears of the Soviet Union, Venezuela, or Cuba instead of some of our many allied countries that have some form of national healthcare/Bismarck model and some form of free college for citizens, or at the least, not extremely overpriced college tuition that is shackling the younger generation with debt. Debt that is keeping them from spending money, buying houses, having kids, etc...you know, things we need to happen for this country to not fall apart in the future.

The 35 and under crowd are voting for Socialist Bernie because they're the ones getting screwed and will be screwed more by the current system since they have the longest to live.

If the Republicans or the Republican-lite-Democrats attempted to fix the issues of:

-Public university tuition costs
-Healthcare costs
-Stagnant wages
-Corporations throwing a few billion at lobbyists to make trillions

You would see a lot less people voting for Bernie Sanders because they wouldn't feel like they needed to do to see any kind of change in their government for things that actually affect them.

Most politicians feel more beholden to things such as: the healthcare industry, the pharmaceutical industry, banks, defense firms, etc instead of the people they are supposed to represent. That is the root of the issues. It usually only takes a few thousand dollars to get a politician to vote the way you want them to. Our government simply does not represent you if you're not lobbying them with $$$$. That is the reality
