It seems like there's a lot of misconception going on in this thread, and it's rather hilarious.

What people are having a hard time seeing here is at the end of the day it doesn't matter if Bernie wins or not at this point. The point is within in the next 10 years, whether you like it or not it's going to be Socialist v. Libertarian. The new generations are done and sick of Democrats and Republicans fucking shit up. We watched as you guys elected Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and another Bush. We watched the videos of how great things truly were here at one point and are masters of a modern age that most of the older generation struggles to comprehend.

We have systems in other countries that work for politics, education, health, and military that we are ignoring because your generations are too proud to say "maybe we were wrong."

This group of people is growing by the day exponentially. It started with OWS and has grown since.

I remember watching a video that Cruz was telling some illegal immigrant they needed to go home because in every other modern country it would be the same. You also see cheap education and affordable health care in those countries. There are systems that work.

Every day more and more people wake up to their meager salary and ask themselves how they're going to pay for a medication they need, or how they're going to put their kids through college, etc. They turn on facebook and see their good friend from Germany working a similar job living a much better life.

They go to pay their student loans and on a second tab they have a news article discussing how people in some countries pay 400 euro a year for school and in other countries get PAID to go to school.

More and more of this generation is seeing this, and it's growing by the day. It's time to face reality, the world and this country WILL go socialist v libertarian. Your generation, banks, and lobbyists are trying to stop it, but they're only holding off the inevitable.

Healthcare and education should be a right in a country that claims it's a first world country. It shouldn't be thrust upon as a prerequisite and then be forced to pay the bill. "The world needs ditch diggers," well that's what technology is for now and it's already beginning to be seen that most manual labor jobs and lower level white collar jobs can be replaced with that technology. You can't keep depending on "ditch diggers" because eventually they're just going to be poor people on the corner begging for change. Will the world need them then?

We live in a country where 1 guy can buy a critical drug and increase it's price thousands of a percent, and that's ok in the government's eyes. It becomes up to the people to go vigilante and ruin the guy. That's not a first world country, that's just sad. We might as well be a third world country if that's what has to happen.
