01) CAMPAIGN 2020: Bernie Sanders slams Joe Biden after Super Tuesday results
“In an address to reporters after Super Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders assailed the record of former Vice President Joe Biden, as well as the ex-VP’s donors.”
It’s fairly well established that this movement depends on the young vote…and yet, for all this enthusiasm and fighting that’s been going on for years…where was the young vote on super Tuesday?…Why did so many fail to show up?
I forget where I encountered it, but a few days back I was listening to media…and I heard someone say that “the millennial are angry with the Boomers and Generation X, for screwing them over”…something about laying the blame for how things currently are at our feet…
…and it really struck me, as outright offensively disingenuous…
…I care nothing for throwing Boomers under the bus…but fact is, Generation X is the first generation, to face the brunt of what has gutted this country…
Gen X has more in common with the millennial generation in this regard, than it has with the Boomers…
…and a lot of us have spent much of our lives, resisting and fighting against what’s been happening…
We’ve been getting used, exploited and run out to the ends of our capacity, most of our lives…and we still have to run, scrounge and scramble…we’re just a lot older now, with health conditions…maybe failing health…yet we are still trapped on this rat wheel.
This is, ultimately, why I’ve spent years being excited about Bernie Sanders…I’ve spent my life realizing first hand, just how screwed up our economy and political system is, and how it does not work for the common citizen.
Things desperately need to change in the USA, in so, so many ways.
This is the reason I’ve supported Bernie for president, twice, and why I’ve had a long standing respect for this man.
He’s the only honest politician who’s come close to the white house, in decades.
You younger voters…you need to step it up, and bring the fight…It is your future most of all, that we are fighting for…
Hell…I may be dead before the next election…
You have the life most left to live, and the most potential to lose.
For the life of me…I do not understand how the young voters dropped the ball, this bad.
They are an integral part in all of this…There is no change, without them being involved…
Do they not care?
We finally have something real to grab onto…
…are you just going to let it slip away?
