After Young Voters Rock Britain, U.S. Watches for the Wave
Gerald Seib of the WSJ describes the huge wave of young supporters who helped Labor party leader Corbyn in Britain's 2017 general election. He cites an analysis by the Financial Times that shows young people backed Labor over the Conservatives by 51 points more than the national average. People over age 65 backed Conservatives by 32 points more than the national average. This points to a staggering age gap of 83 points, said the Financial Times. Young people failed to turn out in large numbers during the Brexit vote, and this was a large factor in the pro Brexit win. One exit poll shows turnout went up by 12% in 2017 compared to the 2015 parliamentary election. Only 26% of voters in a WSJ/NBC poll for ages 18-34 years say they approve of U.S. president Trump's performance, 64% disapprove. Seib says the movement of Corbyn is similar to the Bernie Sanders movement in the U.S. and has implications for a similar surge of support showing up in the U.S.

Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and the "progressives" in the 2016 U.S. presidential election
02/04/2016
Bernie Sanders says Hillary is a "progressive" on some days, and not on other days such as when she received $675,000 for 3 speeches at Goldman Sachs to her 2016 presidential campaign fund. Hillary says she is amused at how Sanders has become a gatekeeper for the "progressive" label. This was in response to questions at a CNN town hall by Anderson Cooper on Feb. 3, 2016.

A close contest between Clinton and Sanders for the U.S. Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 early primaries
02/03/2016
The pace of fund raising, the appeal to young people and the lead among unmarried women, of the Sanders campaign makes the Democratic nomination a close contest between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The mood of voters who are not looking for incremental change emphasized in the Clinton campaign speeches also plays a role. Unlike the Republican nomination which is largely a winner take all contest for delegates and could end early, the Democratic nomination based on a proportional allocation of delegates from the percentage of the vote gained increases chances of the fight dragging on. Momentum could also play a part.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
