Why do young people like that old man Bernie Sanders?

Question

Why do young people like that old man Bernie Sanders?

Answer 1

first of all get real and know your facts. Hillary clinton will be 70+ if she takes office, Bernie Sanders is about 74. This is not enough age difference to matter.



Secondly The real reason so many votrers of all ages are flocking to Bernie Sanders is because he is honest and hillary is not.



Third, bernie Sanders is really a poor candidate, but when he shares the stage and gets compared to Hillay, he shines like a new diamond. It isn't because Bernie is so good, It's because hillary is so bad she makes him look good.

Answer 2

Because he isn't a cold B, like Hillary. We haven't had him shoved down our throat as the next Democratic Candidate for 8 years. Also:



Sanders became involved in the Civil Rights Movement during his university days. He was a member of the Congress of Racial Equality, also known as CORE. With CORE, Sanders participated in a sit-in against the segregation of off-campus housing in 1962. He also served as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee



Bernie has been in the ****, fighting for equality of all, not just financial equality. Every Con is afraid of a socialist utopia he will create. They will fight him every step of the way and nothing will get done. They'll hold that over his head and he won't get re-elected. But we will have had 12 years to solidify the changes made by Obama and given them a real test run to see if they are viable changes.

Answer 3

Bernie Sanders is giving the youth of America what they want; Teens want to afford housing, to live a good life and at the current rate of things, even getting their own apartment seems like a far-fetched dream. Now the question is, what is Clinton offering the young adults of America - and what difference does she and Sanders have that make them flock more to Bernie?

Age, gender, etc etc should not matter in political events such as this - what should matter is what they are offering and whether they are good or bad. Honestly, if you had never heard or seen these candidates all but there choices and how they would make the country better, you would pick the best choice, however seeing and knowing the person affects that choice.

Stop judging people for who they are, but what they stand for, in this case

Answer 4

Hillary's gender is irrelevant. Bernie would be our first Jewish president, but I also don't care about that, because it is also silly and irrelevant.



Young people like Bernie Sanders because he is honest, consistent, and incredibly experienced. He stands up for what he believes in, even if it hurts him financially.



He is genuinely concerned for this country, and young people are seeing that. Hillary is disingenuous.

Answer 5

I am a millenial and I strongly disagree with and oppose Bernie Sanders. I don't really understand why my peers support Sanders. I don't doubt his sincerity but I don't think Bernie has a good understanding of how economics works. We have a national debt of $19 trillion dollars and spending more is not the answer to America's long term issues. At a time when pressure from foreign economic competition is straining US domestic companies due to globalization, we simply cannot afford more. Now, I admit that it's certainly a noble thing to stand up against special interests and stand up for the middle class but his proposed solutions are economically and politically unfeasible, especially since we live in a global economy. I'm not sure if Bernie Sanders is aware of the potential political obstacles of his plans and potential unforeseen or unattended consequences. They're way too idealistic and any political scientist will tell you that he will face a lot of resistance and problems implementing his solutions. No policy in history has been implemented to the way the president envisioned. A lot of things had to be compromised in order to get things passed through Congress. Good luck fighting Congress to pass your agenda. Not only that, but you also have to fight Congress for budget appropriations.



Bernie Sanders appears to be more driven by progressive ideology than pragmatism, per his "record" or "consistency", but I see that as a serious vulnerability. Nobody can get everything their way. In my opinion, we need someone who will negotiate with both parties. Negotiation process will require compromise. GOP or Democrat, doesn't matter. We also have a widening polarization of Congress, but to be fair, I don't think anyone has a solution to this.



In essence, I do praise Bernie Sanders for his social views and concern for the future but I think it's far more important to realize that we live in the real world, not a utopian fantasy.

Answer 6

Young people are idealists. Bernie Sanders has great ideals. The ideas as he explains them are a real pleasure to listen to. He has a lot of experience in explaining his ideas and he knows how to do it convincingly.



But, having heard last night’s debate, he doesn’t think about the immense expenditures his ideals would cost the taxpayers. He doesn’t think that he has to persuade the U. S. Senate of his ideals, especially a Senate with a majority of Republicans. And he doesn’t think of the danger of losing the benefits we have gained from the Obama Administration much less the risks to Medicare and Medicaid. All of this is OK with our young idealists. They are young and healthy and pay very little tax. They have never had a reason to think about such things.



Hillary has not only thought of all these things; she has had experience, long experience with the important issues and knows the importance of specific policies and the importance of not losing what we have gained by pursuing a vision of change and forgetting what is happening here and now. That’s why we need Hillary Clinton as President.



Finally, we need to remember that our young idealists had a lot of energy and ask a lot of good questions that add to our national dialogue. And, having done that, they don’t bother to come out on election day. That is why we now have a Republican Congress.



Just look at post election polls if you don’t believe me. Better yet, look at what I see. I’m an election clerk. Senior Citizens come out and vote. And as you watch you seen them moving slowly, some using canes or walkers or even wheel chairs. They have to work at it. And they do and they vote. Young idealists just don’t vote.

Answer 7

Really?! If you actually listen to his words then you'll know why. Even if Hillary is to be the first female president, feminists are more on Bernie's side. And the polls also indicate that women are backing Bernie more than Hillary.

Answer 8

Well, I have to admit, the coherence, clarity and gravitas of your message of support for HR Clinton would make pretty much anyone leaning left want to run out and vote for Sanders.

Answer 9

There is an old saying:

He who is not a socialist at 20 has no heart.

He who is a socialist at 40 has no head.

I believe this explains why young people like Bernie Sanders.

He is on their developmental level politically.

Answer 10

I disagree. Bernie is 7 years older than Hillary. She uses Botox. He is natural. He is a decent man, not a con artist. Why is a woman better, one who really doesnt understand world politics, one who is right of center. A woman is OK but not for the U.S. The U.S. projects world domination and you cant do that with a female head in many places. Why is Hillary better for young people? You didnt say. Bernie has plans to help young college students and families with health care and ending that outstanding student loan debt that affects your future. Hillary has not spelled out any plan to help anyone. I will tell you that because she is a woman, does not mean she really cares about women.



You are obviously too young to remember the scandals of Bill and Hillary dating back to Arkansas and in the 1990s in the White House. They were shady business deals they were involved in. When they left the WH Hillary said they were broke. And they stole the silver and china. Hillary is worth $30 mill and Bill $80 mill now.



Bernie does not represent the rich, thats the big difference, that goes beyond womens issues and minority issues. He has the moral compass to work on solutions that dont involve making money for their friends.

Answer 11

There are a lot of really excellent answers here. Kind of unusual for Yahoo, but these answers really are good. Please read them.



I won't go over the same points as already raised. But let me cover a few other aspects.



First, young people have been quite willing to support and vote for older people when the time and the message have been right. In the comments above, RICH3 makes the point about Winston Churchill. I remember the 1968 Presidential primaries and how popular Eugene McCarthy was among the young people.

https://youtu.be/p2HiJ9J0jFA



And 4 years ago, Ron Paul was appealing to young people.

https://youtu.be/E5TeneSysiw



With young people, it's not so much about age or even "electability" (though Sanders is electable), but it's about policies and positions.



Another point. You say: "Hillary Clinton a woman is a better choice for young people since we never had a woman president before." Begin a woman isn't a better choice just because the U.S. hasn't had a woman president yet. Some day, it will. And hopefully she'll be not only well qualified (which Hillary is), but also ethical with a vision of where to take the country. And the argument that the U.S. should elected some type of person who hasn't been President before doesn't work. We've never had an Hispanic President before. There are TWO Hispanics (Cruz and Rubio) running as Republicans. Take your choice if you want to break new ground. We've never had a really, really wealthy person elected. Not on the order of Trump. We've never elected a physician. Then vote for Carson. We've never elected a Jewish President. Or a Socialist President. That's Sanders.



On the other hand, we have elected people with experience who've had serious ethical challenges. Richard Nixon, for example. Or Warren G. Harding. I don't want to add Hillary Clinton to that list.

Answer 12

"Hillary Clinton a woman is a better choice for young people since we never had a woman president before." Begin a woman isn't a better choice just because the U.S. hasn't had a woman president yet. Some day, it will. And hopefully she'll be not only well qualified (which Hillary is), but also ethical with a vision of where to take the country. And the argument that the U.S. should elected some type of person who hasn't been President before doesn't work. We've never had an Hispanic President before. There are TWO Hispanics (Cruz and Rubio) running as Republicans. Take your choice if you want to break new ground. We've never had a really, really wealthy person elected. Not on the order of Trump. We've never elected a physician. I hope Bernie makes it the primaries! I really want a woman president, however I don't want it to be Hilary Clinton. She's not truly a progressive, and claims to be "for women" yet I don't see her mentioning WOC or trans women. Bernie Sanders has been advocating for racial equality, women's rights, LGBTQ+, etc since his university years while Hillary only decided to in the recent years when it became "trendy". I don't trust her.

Answer 13

Age and gender don't matter for being president. We agree with what he believes. And he'll be 75 if he is president, and 79 at the end of the term. And anyway, we still have 2 living former presidents in their 90s (Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush).



And if gender and age do matter to some people, then what about Jill Stein? She also has similar opinions, and would be the first female president, and is younger than Hillary Clinton. And unlike Clinton, who only has had lots of opinions *cough* gay marriage *cough* for a couple years, Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders have been for those for a long time.

Answer 14

I am 18 and Bernie sanders appeals to me.I think he is too old to do it for the money I think he wants to be president to help out the small person I think he is trying to have a cradle to the grave kind of system where everyone is looked after which is good.i like his policy for universal health care. I think he would be great campaigning for minorities as well.he was a student during the civil rights movement.he also talked about policies to help young minorities away from prisons and into the education system.voting for Hilary because she is a woman is just stupid america will have a woman president but now is not the time. We need a woman president who is capable for the job Hilary is not for the people she is only doing this to prove a point that she can be president and to benefit the donors and other rich donors she tries too hard she even tried to fake a southern accent to relate to the common people! She is fake at relating to the common people she has celebrities advertising for her to get to the young people I don't think any of her polices are good Bernie is honest and he hasn't said a bad word against Hilary while she said Bernie is unfit to be president and had her husband call him sexist when he is not. I like Bernie because he is himself he didn't change anything to get people to like him. I mean if everyone voted for Hilary because she is a woman then why not vote for ted cruz and Marco Rubio? We never had Hispanic presidents before this logic is ridiculous to me I will have lost all respect for Americans if they don't see Bernie as the only hope for a better future

Answer 15

Not sure how young people could look at this guy & say this is me except with a lot more wrinkles and an egghead with hair on the sides. Sanders would be the oldest president and self admitted senile old white socialist elected or Clinton would be the 1st old privileged deceitful white woman elected who gives herself a full pardon of her own crimes. I feel sorry the democrats have such lousy choices. No black candidate this time to guilt trip white voters to vote for them. Their really lacking in diversified candidates. So of course they have to choose the lesser of 2 evils. Clinton is trying to Out-Socialist Sanders. Not much difference between the 2 except Bernie is more honest about his extremism. Promising Free Stuff works for lazy people who want something for nothing. Even though it's not really free. Gotta come from somewhere & those it comes from will pack up & leave & take their business elsewhere. His ideas won't come to fruition unless he does it illegally like Obama does.

Answer 16

It's astonishing how much ignorance there is in this country! It literally surprises me how stupid and uneducated people are, with this being said! Appearance doesn't matter when it comes to policies, Hillary is a lying ***** whose had an easy life. Bernie actually wants to make a change and I definitely have a lot of respect for Bernie, he has so much to offer for out society. Too bad an ignorant person like you will never understand, I honestly think a person that's considered "mentally ill" is more educated than you. I swear you're full on retarded at a whole new level!

Answer 17

This is the first election in which I'm voting and I hope Bernie makes it the primaries! I really want a woman president, however I don't want it to be Hilary Clinton. She's not truly a progressive, and claims to be "for women" yet I don't see her mentioning WOC or trans women. Bernie Sanders has been advocating for racial equality, women's rights, LGBTQ+, etc since his university years while Hillary only decided to in the recent years when it became "trendy". I don't trust her. However, I'd take her over those republican clowns anyday.. Especially Trump. Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for women.

Answer 18

First, you can't claim that a candidate would be a "bad" president because of their age. If Bernie was 106 and had tons of health issues, then no, it might not be the best idea to elect him. But he is only in his 70's, and has better health than most people his age.



Second, he appeals to millennials because he portrays the overall message that everybody should be able to live their life how they please, as long as it doesn't negatively effect anybody else. If a woman wants an abortion, he believes that it is her choice. If somebody wants to smoke weed, he believes it is their choice. If somebody wants to go to college for 8 years and get a good degree, he believes they should be able to choose to do so. He believes in everybody reforming America, so that America is a place that works for EVERYONE.



Thirdly, you CANNOT, I repeat CANNOT, vote for a candidate based on their demographics. Hillary was born a woman, but that does not entitle her to be president over somebody else**. Just because she is a woman, doesn't mean that she would be the best president to work for and create change regarding gender equality. Bernie has better policies and beliefs about gender equality that she does, which proves that you can't vote for somebody based on what they were born as.



**This statement is not intended to sound sexist, and being female, I respect Clinton but do not believe that she is what America needs in this day and age.



So to rest my case, Bernie Sanders is a far better qualified candidate based on his beliefs and consistency in his claims. Hillary would be better than ANY Republican, but when it comes down to her and Bernie, President Sanders wins.

Answer 19

Both Bernie and Hillary are terrible. Younger people like Bernie because "free college", "raise minimum wage", and all the other stuff he wants to give for free. But then people like Hillary because "she's a female". Well if Bernie wins, I can't wait to see all these magic trees growing money for all the things he wants to do for free. The idiot is gonna put us in worse debt. And I'm a 16 year old Female, and Hillary plays the "female card" too much. She's a feminist and we do NOT need that. This country was founded by men - "Founding Fathers" not "Founding Mothers". Its always been Mr. President and First Lady... Not First Gentleman. Besides who wants someone who lies about EVERYTHING? She's a sneak, she'll keep ruining this country just as Obama did.

Answer 20

Young people support Bernie Sanders because he is for the legalization of cannabis, which will be used whether it's legal or not, so I say give it a shot. As long as they add the warning label, I say we choose what we put into our bodies. However, young adults involved in the politics side might just support his ideas for the country. Either way, young people are going to form our nation in years to come and their opinions are relevant. I'm full Hillary, however I respect other people's opinions in the matter!

Answer 21

Bernie is the safe choice. No, none of his socialist idea's will EVER be considered by Congress (the house will still be controlled by the GOP after all). And he's malleable... unlike Clinton. Bernie will do what's best for the people - not for the corporations or the 1%. He has a solid track record for being fair, regardless of which isle he sides for at the time. Bernie is an independent...always has been, always will be.

Answer 22

I would vote for Bernie Sanders because he not bought by corporations. Plus new face candidate then original old usual democratic candidate s like Hillary and Bernie is also honest which rare in politics. Hillary Clinton bought by the Corporation and has to answer to their agendas. She not really common people s choice but rich insurance company's and corporations choice and elite s choice. Only thing Hillary Clinton has make people seem Sexist if don't vote for a woman . Like obama your racist don't vote for first African American president. So that why the elite try choose Hillary Clinton or Obama for candidates. Because don't vote for them that automatically makes you know what. That why most Americans are tired of elite and corporation agendas deciding are political candidates.

Answer 23

Bernie is only 74yo & Hillary (as well as Trump) are both 69 or 70. Barely an age gap between them. Also, you should be voting on candidates views & not their looks. I'm voting for Bernie because of what he stands for & wants to change, etc. it's probably also the reasons he resonates with some younger people. You shouldn't worry about why someone else is voting the way they are & research each candidate in detail, yourself. Then you can make the decision on which candidate best resonates with you.

Answer 24

Because if the only job 80% of them will be getting is retail then there is no other way to get a paycheck with a functional wage on it.



Here I am an 18 year old on a shatly tracked school (waiting for superman). Since college don't take kids from my school I have to either get a friend or family job or retail. And whats that? I can't even afford training at a tech school and all tech schools are illegitimate because they aren't accredited by the big universities? Well fk those other candidates. I guess I have to vote for a socialist because there is no way for me to live on my own or go to school.



I guess you can blame george bush for destroying the global economy and john bahner for following through with all the loose ends.

Answer 25

Because their uneducated and Believe his nonsense about giving the country away for free.



But your just as uneducated for thinking Hillary is better because "never had a woman president before" What does that have to do with ANYTHING? In every political position she has held, there has been a scandal behind it! She got those people killed in Benghazi, then lied about it. The Clinton foundation has been investigated many times now for the shady crap and payoffs that go on. Now she's violated Federal Law with her illegal email server which the FBI is still investigating. She has committed Federal Felonies! THAT'S who you think should be our next president? REALLY?



Sanders is an idiot, but at least he's not a criminal that's gotten Americans killed due to his ignorance and then lied about it!

Answer 26

Because he tosses the word "FREE" around like the United States has unlimited money resources! Well, "free" isn't always FREE! There have already been people who have figured out that if Sanders should win and try to accomplish all the free giveaways he's pushing, like free college, free medical care, $15 per hours minimum wages, etc., the middle class will be hit with new taxes as well as the wealthy people. It was stated that the middle class would diminish even further because their yearly income would go downward by anywhere from 6% to 8% to help pay for all of these freebies! And I'd bet that the real figure would be closer to 10% reduction in your annual wages. So, if you make an average of $25,000 yearly, take away another $2,500 on top of what you normally would have paid in taxes for the year. Socialism at it's best! :(

Answer 27

Okay, it looks like you are assuming that the younger population is more liberal and therefore would vote for Hilary because we've never had a female president before and want to "break the glass ceiling" for women. You are correct in that sense but we're not going to elect Hilary based solely on the fact that she is a woman. The point of feminism and liberalism is to make sure everyone has equal opportunities. A lot of people think Sanders would make a better president than Hilary, and he does stand for liberalism. When a female presidential candidate that is a better choice than the rest comes along, hopefully America will vote for her, and that candidate will break that glass ceiling. These assumptions muddle the point of feminism and liberalism. We just want equal opportunities, that's all--we don't need special privilege because of the oppression we go through.

Answer 28

It's not about age, it is about policy and ideology. Sanders reflect the ideas and policy the younger generation represents on the liberal/democrat side. I lived in Madison, WI during the 2007-2008 primary campaign season, and remember mobs of young adults in support Ron Paul (father of libertarian-republican candidate, Sen. Rand Paul) of marching down the street connecting the capital to the UW campus. Both, Sanders and Paul represent the marginal wings of their respective parties, which typically appeals to the youth vote, who are usually somewhat aware of what is going on in politics, only during an election year.



The more mainstream and establishment figures in the parties are usually familiar to more engaged voters who are older, with the exception of one or two highly notable politicians, generally, everyone knows. Younger voters likely view the ideas and policies of the "big guns" as representing "authority," and who their parents might vote for, and therefore, "old". Sen. Sanders is "new" to the younger voters, while they grew up knowing Hilary Clinton. From their view, former Secretary Clinton doesn't appear to give them what they want. It has nothing to do with whether she's a woman. Sanders offers many of the things the youth vote wants. Why vote for someone who doesn't stand for what you particularly want? At least, you can't say Bernie Sander supporters are superficial in their decision.

Answer 29

The same reason people want to believe Trump. Some people will want to here only what they want to hear. Most of Bernie fans are college students who largely think they shouldn't have to pay for college. Thus come along a person like Sander who says he won't make them pay their college debts.

Answer 30

They all like what he say's, but did you know the secret service gave him that name to use. In other words the guy passing himself off as Bernie Sanders is only useing this name now given to him by the Secret Service. So much for honesty. Mike

Answer 31

Young people are being robbed by benefit paychecks to older citizens. I am old. As a beneficiary of this legal vote buying scheme, I am ashamed. You should be angry. Really don't think any fair minded person would say that their Social Security benefits are excessive vs. their actual contribution. Consider the number of people adjudicated "disabled" for Social Security purposes. I am voting Bernie because he is basically the only candidate who has a real understanding of the pain of the young. They are smart and capable; but, unemployed or underemployed.

Answer 32

People of any age should vote for the candidate they think will most benefit the people of this country; ALL the people, not just a few. Pick the candidate who you believe will make this country a better place to live. Things have gotten so bad, in this country, that we need a candidate who aspires to make BIG improvements; one who aims high. In my opinion, none of the republican candidates would make our country better. And I believe that Clinton, while she would make some good changes, does not truly BELIEVE that it is possible to make the BIG improvements that our nation needs and deserves. Sanders honestly believes it can be done, and has the best interests of ALL the people at heart. That's why he'll get my vote.

Answer 33

Because he is an extremely liberal Democrat. Democrats love the most liberal people on their side because they love the welfare state where everyone gets stuff for free. The most liberal Democrats will most likely expand the welfare state.

Answer 34

Bro back off man let young people choose whatever they want. You cant force them to choose hillary cuase she is better looking. Looks isnt everything bro. Bernie sanders is actually beating hillary becuase he is a good guy that is actually promoting islam. Hillary hates muslims but she doesnt show it but its obvious. Bernie sanders is the only candidate that doesnt hate muslims. So u should really back off dude. I rest my case. xD

Answer 35

Because they are misguided.



You see, young people lack something that is very important.



Experience!

Answer 36

Because he says he gonna legalize weed

Answer 37

HE'S PROMISING FREE EDUCATION - FREE EVERYTHING

Answer 38

Because Bernie makes sense, he wants what right for the working class.

Answer 39

Because old people do a better job at ANYTHING!! Problem is, they are often smarter than the boss, and they want a little more than minimum wage, so they never get the job. And any one who thinks someone will do a better job because that person IS YOUNG, OR GOOD LOOKING, is straightly out of their minds! Please! I beg you. Go see a doctor. You got a ways to go.

Answer 40

Because they say he is against Wall Street, even though it was money from Wall Street that got him elected to Senator.



Because they say he doesn't do SuperPacs...right as his fleet of SuperPac buses drive by.



They are young and dumb and easily manipulated because they are all sell-outs getting their votes bought by an idiot who offers them free stuff without any way of paying for it.

Answer 41

because he is hip

Answer 42

Because he is cool.

Answer 43

Hillary and Bernie have two tings in common, Both old, and both white.

Answer 44

Who kernel sanderz? Kfc? I thought he passed away........but chicken lives on......

Answer 46

because Bernie is promising bull **** about having everyone starting at the same place and rich give money to kids who didn't work for it just a huge lot of bull ****

Answer 47

Because he has a old wrinkly penis

Answer 48

Sanders became involved in the Civil Rights Movement during his university days. He was a member of the Congress of Racial Equality, also known as CORE. With CORE, Sanders participated in a sit-in against the segregation of off-campus housing in 1962. He also served as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

Answer 49

They want free stuff. He promised freebies

Answer 50

the younger generation are more intelligent and well aware of the world than any old geeser born in 1965 or earlier

Answer 51

Sometimes I think they just put him in to make it look like Hillary isn't a shoe in that she is

Answer 52

I dont think they do. The cons are successfully setting this man up.

Answer 53

it's the message and the principles he stands for. not the year he was born.

Answer 54

Millennials haven't seen enough of the world to understand that nothing is free.

Answer 55

Honesty. For the young he sounds idealistic. They have been given almost everything they have up to this point. They want government to be their new mommy and daddy.

Answer 56

He promises them a socialist revolution and free college. something that the republican held congress is going to help Sanders get and turkeys can fly and the moon is made of green cheese LOL.

Answer 57

As obedient products of the liberal government union educational system they have taught that socialism is better than capitalism and he is an avowed socialist who will give them all kinds of free stuff.

Answer 58

Young people decided that they do not want a Congress that legislates and a President that administrates.



They want a King who dictates that they will not have to pay for college.



Hope that helps.

Answer 59

Hillary Clinton is 69, and only a few of years younger. What is the difference between electing someone 69 or someone 74?

Answer 60

We never had a blackie for president either, look how that turned out



Both parties are filled with rage over that idiot.

He has class.

Answer 62

He is TRUTHFUL!

Answer 63

Are you saying the the number one requirement to be president is gender. How progressive of you

Answer 64

nope, we need to pick up civil rights where MLK left it, Clinton solely cares for power



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcDtq993J-E

Answer 65

He looks like grandpa.

Answer 66

That's funny because Bernie is getting FAR more votes among young people than Hillary.

Answer 67

Young people like that old man Bernie Sanders

because they somwhow started thinking

the economy & society shoud serve EVERYONE, not just the richest best of us.

Answer 68

Because they actually listen to what he says (or read what he says) and are shocked that he's the ONLY candidate that makes sense for the bottom 99% of citizens of this country.

Answer 69

Lmfao praying that this is a joke. It seems like one but I've read some more idiotic crap than this. You don't vote for someone because they are a woman. You vote for someone because of their politics. If you really wanted a woman you could vote for Carly Fiorina.

Answer 70

While it would make history to have a woman president, I don't think Hillary qualifies and anyone who thinks she should be president just because she's female is totally brain-dead. Also from a previous article I've read, 91% off women and today's youth rather vote for someone who has actual plans for the state than their gender. That's like picking a hot person who has no brains or feelings over a regular person who does have a working mind and cares about you.

Answer 71

Well, to start with our version of winner take all capitalism has failed to benefit most of America, so now many are starting to think that living in a working Democracy where the citizens aren't politically disenfranchised sounds like a better idea than continuing on the path we're currently heading down.

If the age card is all you've got, you're apparently going to have to get back to the drawing board if you're trying to convince any but your intellectual clones....

Answer 72

Liking an old man is not a problem at all. We as youth are going to be old one day like him. The reason we young people like him is because he has a better plan for Social Security and Medicare and other retirement issue so that when we get old in the future, one of these days we will have a bright future like he does.

Answer 73

Sanders is NOT Clinton! With no whiff of scandal

Sanders is NOT wealthy like her! His backers are NOT DEAD wealthy dodgy regimes! Corporations wanting payback! No one gives Clinton tons of $ cos she' "pretty".

He wants to invest into infrastructure, education access for young people. Stop tax dodging companies making use of corporate welfare! The same said corporations don't invest into their own country, into their own workforce! It is a race to the bottom!



Clinton is a war champion! Her handy work Libya, & Syria!

"Pentagon spends about $600 billion a year, while the State Department’s total budget of around $50 billion is less than what the Pentagon spends just on “Overseas Contingency Operations” What do the US masses have to show for that?



Clinton has been in power for centuries! Technically decades!

And other then becoming wealthy, what exactly has she done?

Zilch!

War! War! War!

Wall st. Yeah! Yeah! yeah!



She has presided over the DECIMATION of the middle classes!

OK! For her! She is wealthy! Whining not! Maybe not as wealthy as her billionaire donors! But wealthy, nonetheless!!!!!!



Represents who? Not the middle classess!

High time wall street had to work for a living!



So she has the misfortune to be a woman! Too bad! Needing Albright' endorsement is scraping the war barrel!!!

They made their bed!



Whilst trillions ARE wasted on war, war, war, allowing war profiteering, the country is going down the toilet! Corruption! Pentagon can't account for $8.5 million! Why? Accountability! Where?



Hard to forget her hubby dearest unleashed wall street! 2008 greedy incompetent bankers should have been HELD to account!!! Not bailed out, so million bonuses could be paid out TO them! By those who were NOT WILLFULLY RECKLESS!!!!

Clinton sees no reason to REIN in wall st!!!!!

Since she gets paid millions, surprise! Surprise!!

Dragging her daughter, to trumpeter the Clinton name! Pah!!!!!!!

Never mind, what her husband did! Encircle NATO around Russia!!!!!

Reagan gave his word to Gorbachev, if Germany could unite in peace, after the fall of the Berlin wall, NATO would NOT encircle Russia!

Her whining Putin is Hitler is pathetic! Hitler was defeated by Putin's father!

Answer 74

Six reasons. Affordable HEALTH INSURANCE. Affordable college tuition. Decent old age pensions. All problems dealt with on the basis of science and reason. Choice for women and leaving gay friends and relatives alone. Bernie was there when times were better for working class people... strong unions, low cost HEALTH INSURANCE, affordable college. He was there when Social Security wasn't political and before there was Medicare. He saw women die from illegal abortions, segregation and jailor gay indviduals...all the good and the bad. Decent people in both parties fought for a 'better deal' for minorities, women, gays and the 95% of us that work for hourly wages.



The GOP/Tea/Fox/Koch/Jesus party wants to destroy all the good laws and replace them with bad laws. Bernie is a fighter for the good. The 'other party' says 'it can't be done'.... hat kind of BS is that for Americans?

Answer 75

Interesting to me is that the best the Democrats can come up with for candidates is two OLD WHITE PEOPLE who are fighting over who can give away the most to people who produce nothing. And yet TWO HISPANICS, ONE FEMALE, AND A BLACK MAN who are candidates in the opposition party aren't even looked at by most millennials and who can't think beyond what someone will "give" them. If the government can give it, they can take it away. And if social and economic Utopia exists anywhere on this planet, why aren't people flooding to and dying to get there like they do to the United States?

Answer 76

Young people mostly likely do not understand that a hopeful President Sanders has to bow to Congress to get things done. Obama s failures were all attributable to a non-cooperative, avidly partisan Congress.

Answer 77

Because he is the prophet ... he is the one standing up and calling out the wrong-doers and telling them they need to change.

And we LIKE hearing that.



Unfortunately, he is not skilled-enough as a politician to be an effective President, and his health will not carry him through term if he was elected.

As much as I dislike Clinton, she has the experience, the networking skills, and the ability to play the party line .. which is what a leader needs.



But no one should vote for Hilary Clinton just because she is a female. That is a STUPID reason to vote for someone. That kind of thinking would have put Palin in office, and what a mistake THAT would have been.

Answer 78

First off it doesn't matter what Bernie Sanders looks like it's what he'd do for this country.

Answer 79

It has nothing to do with age, but rather place in life.

They are poor, and saddling themselves with unnecessary loans.

The youth want to live like children, where someone takes care of them. They aren't starting families and contributing, so socialism is attractive.

When they get real jobs, and realize the truth, it may be too late. I think Sanders is evil.

Answer 80

Bernie is honest. He has integrity and seems like a genuinely nice guy. He's not bought by Wall Street.

Answer 81

If you actually vote for Hillary Clinton just because she's a woman and America has never had a woman president before, I feel bad for you. Having a vagina doesn't qualify you for such a high-ranking political decision, sorry to burst your bubble there. Maybe you should actually learn about politics and their proposed policies before you vote on the basis of gender.

Answer 82

You realize Hillary is pushing 70?

If Bernie won the presidency, which would be a miracle from God, better hope he chooses a decent vice president.

Answer 83

> we never had a woman president before



Trust me, I'm German: We never had a woman chancellor before Angela Merkel.



The problem is, if she gets reelected, she can rule indefinitely, because we don't have the American rule of two 4-year periods here. Chancellor Helmut Kohl ruled for 16 years.



(The chancellor in Germany is the chief of government, while the federal president is rather for representative tasks. He legally has the right to overthrow laws he finds unconstitutional, but rarely a president has ever done that.)

Answer 84

Young people want to be rich but don't want to work. Bernie wants to tax people who work and give money and free services to people who don't work. Therefore, young people like Bernie.

Answer 85

Because the Republicans are white supremicists that scare the heck out of our future generation. Only the white n$$$er lynching lovers of the pre-1960's support the GOP today.

Answer 86

Marijuana Legalization

the problem about him is tax.



Trump will sure have more votes if he accepts the Marijuana Legalization.

Answer 87

who ?



do you mean Bernie from sesame street?

People like his mohican

Answer 88

like hillary; bernie is a decent person

Answer 89

They think he's Larry David.

Answer 90

I have NO idea why.......I just don't get it at all.

Answer 91

because he is great

Answer 92

Because they think if he is President they will get a lot of FREE stuff.

Answer 93

Voting for Hillary just because she's a woman and beautiful is despicable. The young people really focus on the issues that affect them, such as economic inequality, finding a high paying job, paying for your post-secondary tuition, and fighting climate change.

Answer 94

You must not base your opinion of a person on their age and/or looks. Instead you should listen to what they have to say and then make up your own mind for or against.

Answer 95

Because they all want everything for free. #hillary

Answer 96

.

Answer 97

Looks like Grandpa

Answer 98

I saw them on stage during their debate and thought they were twins.

Answer 99

They like getting free stuff from Grandpa.

Answer 100

You are a racist bastord.

Answer 101

Because its cool to be old and wise but be "radical" in delivery of ideas just like them. There is a similarity in how he talks, in what young people are thinking.



He is basically doing the "talking" of their (young voters) way of thinking.



Which is simple to do, but it does NOT mean he is honest or genuine. ANYONE can do that!



Hell I can do that! Its called bullshitting!

Answer 102

idk just here for the pts

Answer 103

Lolz. Thanks for your input HIllary. As every employer out there always says we'll kindly keep your resume on file for future consideration.



(Just kidding!! We just threw it in the garbage can, set it on fire and lied about it like all the other employers out there!!)

Answer 104

Young people are force fed liberal, sorry I mean "progressive" ideas, since they are in public schools. Not supprising since most teachers support the democratic party because republicans always want to cut funding there and democrats want to increase it.

Answer 105

Ok. So your saying you would rather have a lying criminal

as your president as opposed to a 74 year old drool cup.

Wait a minute. You guys really don't have a choice. LOL

Answer 106

He reminds them of their ranting Pop-Pop

Answer 107

He is not a Republican, nor is he a closet Republican, like Mrs Clinton is.

Answer 108

Free college education

Answer 109

hillary clinton isn't as beautiful and pretty or young enough to be president.

also her husband bill clinton had a sex scandal with monica lewinsky. of course, the news could have lied about it.



i'm voting for donald trump

Answer 110

Such a snakey question by a snakey person. Edit: to answer your qestion: Its because young people these days seem to be more liberated in terms of thinking. With that said, i bet you yourself are old.

Answer 111

He's like Jolly Ole Saint Nick, full of toys and gifts for them.

Answer 112

Reagan was old.

Answer 113

as a Republican/conservative/constitutionalist if i had to vote for bernie or the murderer/liar, bernie would get my vote. Socialism sounds good on the surface but it is a system where the govt owns you, dictates your life. I would like to see our Constitution followed, the federal reserve removed from our govt, honest elected officials, reasonable tuition... i was paying $25/credit in 1970 now it is outrageous, I WANT JOBS IN AMERICA for when our youth graduate high school and or college... I WANT TO SEE JUSTICE FOR ALL IN AMERICA... trump, cruz or rubio ... pray much America.

Answer 114

We're finally going to get a chance to see if the Hippie's dream of a more socially liberal society will work. Frankly, I'm excited about the future and Im in my 50's

Answer 115

They think he's Col. Sanders and they like fried chicken

Answer 116

Hillary is an old hag. A liar. She is under criminal investigation by the FBI... that is no small matter.



Bernie is simply better. He has convictions and integrity.

Answer 117

Hillary is a lying corrupt WARMONGER. She's much worse than Sanders could ever be.

Answer 118

The older he is the more experienced most youth's like him because most youth's make 8 bucks an hour and he wants to raise to 15

Answer 119

(16) i like Bernie because he really seems to be down with things like equality. Thats rare when it comes to old white men like him

Answer 120

Not everyone has the beliefs you do so get over yourself.

Answer 121

He is a breath of fresh air compared to the old same-same blah blah Clinton stuff.

Answer 122

I don't like. Some guys like him cause they really don't understand his brain

Answer 123

He is really bad and a socialist. We don't need him as president.

Answer 124

They don't trust the establishment candidates, either democrat or republican. The feel promises before the election and the reality after the election will be different. They also do not feel that even Hilary represents their interests, but big business instead.

Answer 125

Bernie is more "with it" than you are. Is this a joke?

Answer 126

Would it make any difference if I told you Justin Beaver loves Bernie?

Answer 127

First, not all young people like him. Second, maybe age has nothing to do with it. Maybe some people, regardless of age, just like what he says and they believe that he would be a good president.

Answer 128

Grand father?

Answer 129

I like his black dick more than hillarys

Answer 130

The super duber delegates will go to rotham. Dont worry about the bedragled old man.

Answer 131

Because he will legalize pot and everyone now smokes it.

No, I don't smoke it.

Answer 132

The new and improved Santa Claus!

Answer 133

2 words....F R E E S H I T

Answer 134

Could be the case

Answer 135

Do you have mental issues? Voting for the P.O.T.U.S. isnt about whether you are old or young, whether you have testicles or ovaries, its about who the better candidate is. There is a reason why Hilary lost before. Hopefully you'll ioen your eyes and notice that.

Answer 136

Seriously? You're basing your vote on looks? Or age? No wonder our country is in such terrible shape if this is peoples main criteria for voting someone in office...

Answer 137

We shouldn't vote for a woman just because she is s woman.

Answer 138

Because they want free stuff

Answer 139

Because they are not yet taxpayers.

Answer 140

Because appearance, gender and age shouldn't matter if they have good, strong arguments, maybe?

I care about what's coming out of their mouth, not with what their human cell-package looks like.

Answer 141

They have spent most of their lives in the liberal indoctrination system called public education. Period. Oh, and who doesnt like getting stuff others have to pay for? Actually, it's the parents... the way they vote and the way they expect others to raise their own kids.

Answer 142

He's like Ron Paul in a sense. People like what he says, but it doesn't mean it will work.

Answer 143

I read an article on this that made a ton of sense from a millennial view point. Try searching for it.

Answer 144

It's not his age, they just believe what he is saying. They have no idea how he is going to pay for the programs he's referring to. He is much like Trump. The ideas are good, but they don't tell you how they are going to pay for them.

Answer 145

coz

Answer 146

Because he is worthy of their vote.

Answer 147

No liberal deserves office.

Answer 148

cuz he's hot

Answer 149

personality dear,. thats why

Answer 150

FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF, FREE STUFF,

Answer 151

I think it has alot to do with him wanting to legalize Marijuana on a international level

Answer 152

Voting for someone just because they are a woman is just like voting for someone based on race. It is discrimination. Vote for someone because they would do a better job in that position.
