"Why not Socialism; free health care, education, living wage. Forget about semantics, ideology, it all makes so much sense." I agree with that. My daughter and her friends (early twenties) are very open to the idea of socialism. I think living through an era of unjust wars for profit and corporate greed has influenced them in that direction. From my own observations, young women today are very anti-war and Progressive in thought.
