Why is Bernie so popular?

90. He's offering change

and boomers got a lot of advantages that later generations did not get.

College wasn't out of reach for them, climate change wasn't a pressing immediate issue, they could find good paying jobs even without a degree...then, Reagan ensured that all of that was beyond reach for most people, but by and large, the generations that came of age before him did fine.

I'd like to see public education expanded to include college/tech school.
I'd like to see people whose lives are crippled by student debt be able to move forward in their lives.
I'd like to see people not have to go bankrupt because they or a family member became ill.
I'd like not to ever have to see another go fund me for someone's kid to get chemo.
I'd like to see people working for the future of our planet, not kicking the climate change can down the road for the next person to deal with.

You call it "free shit"...I call it wanting a better life for everyone.

We're the richest nation on earth. We can do this and we should do this.
