As a young educated professional I can tell you the student loan issue is a real problem for conservatives moving forward. The vast majority of my colleagues are too blind to realize money doesn’t just appear and the sound of instant gratification and wiping out their student loan debt is all they need to hear. They also don’t understand the reason tuition is/was high is a direct result of the free guaranteed government money the schools get.

All the Prog/Dim leftists have to do is promise free shite and they get votes, I don’t know how you defeat that because so many Americans don’t want personal accountability or responsibility for that matter.

I’m under 40 and I voted for Ted. Same with my wife.

This article tells you all you need to know about millennials

Recent polls have suggested that millennials are far more positive to socialism than older cohorts. For instance, the Pew Research Center found that 43 percent of 18-29 year olds had a positive reaction to the word socialism, compared to 33 percent of 30-49 year olds, 23 percent of 50-64 year olds, and 14% of 65+. The older you get the more you hate socialism.

But do young people even know what socialism means?

According to the survey, only 16 percent of millennials could define socialism as government ownership, or some variation thereof. In contrast, 30 percent of Americans over 30 could do the same (and 57% of tea partiers, incidentally).

Millennials’ preferred economic system becomes more pronounced when it is described precisely. Fully 64 percent favor a free market economy over an economy managed by the government (32%), whereas 52 percent favor capitalism over socialism (42%). Language about capitalism and socialism is vague, and using these terms assumes knowledge millennials may not have acquired.

They are not very intelligent, though highly educated

Link?

Also not sure how it’s republicans fault that someone can go to an out of state private school to get a degree in English

Their lack of intelligence was by design. Universities are now indoctrination centers.

This is the main issue.

Even the countries that Bernie says the US should model aren't true socialist economies. They are big government nanny states with market economies.

A lot of college debt out there.

Socialism is appealing to the millennials.

Of course it is... they’re all fricking broke or saddled with a mortgage sized student loan.

They want the four bedroom house with the triple crown molding like mom and dad. They want the leisure lifestyle with the trips to Italy like grandpa and grandma. They DON’T want to have to put in 20-40 years of hard work to get there though.

Or they see the hundreds of celebrities they follow on Instagram who are their age but drive Bentleys and attend Hollywood soirées. They DON’T realize that those people are the exception to the norm.

Then, Beto and the socialist thought bus comes into town and tells them the reason they don’t have all that stuff is because someone didn’t allow you to have it, or because the system didn’t give you enough of what you are “entitled” to, and then promises to give them all that shite. Of course they’re going to eat that shite up.
