14. I wish I understood why all the young people like Bernie...

Feb 2020

it seems like a 78 year old s/p MI would be a big turn-off for future looking people. I know he is offering social programs that are appealing, but in the two party system we have, anyone who has been paying attention knows that they are not feasible or at all realistic.

I guess most of the younger candidates (except Buttigieg) have quit, but it seems like Booker or O'Rourke or Harris would have caught on more with this demographic. Someone please enlighten me - I'm a 40 y.o. woman and apparently out of touch!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
