Opinion | Why Are So Many Young Voters Falling for Old Socialists?
Keywords:
A young socialist leader in the Sanders campaign effort asks what it is about aging socialist leaders Jeremy Corbyn, 68 years, in the UK, and Bernie Sanders, 75 years, that makes them popular with young people. She says both leaders stood up consistently for decades on issues important to ordinary working class people, when Labor under Blair and Democrats under Clinton abandoned their base to a point when one political expert could say Democrats were the "second most enthusiastic capitalist party" in the U.S.
She says under Blair Clause IV was rewritten. That clause committed the Labor party in Britain to "common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange." Under Corbyn, with support from young people, Labor received 40% of the vote. The party was reenergized on issues important to students such as making higher education accessible to all. A similar situation happened with Sanders in the U.S., who received more of the young people's vote in 2016 primaries than Trump and Clinton combined.

Social and economic mobility for the middle class emerging as the central issue in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign
09/13/2015
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in the Demcratic Party, and Jeb Bush in the Republican Party, are making social and economic mobility for the middle and working class a central issue in the 2016 presidential campaign. In Britain Corbyn's election to the leadership of the Labor Party with all other candidates doing poorly, is also creating a focus on economic issues and better access to education and jobs.

Why Hillary Clinton lags behind with younger women by as much as 30 points with Sanders
04/11/2016
Older women have experienced child care issues and sexism in their lives more so than younger women. Younger women who have experienced child care issues and sexism also vote like older women. Clinton has done better with such voters. Younger women tend to carefully study the issues and make choices without going by gender in making choices. It is astounding but overall Hillary Clinton lags behind among younger voters by 60 points according to this WP article.

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.

Globalization and the white working class in Europe and the U.S. in 2016- job losses, regional disparities, growing inequality with declining incomes
07/13/2016
Sanders, Trump, in the U.S., Marie Le Pen in France, and Brexiters in England appeal to white working class which has not benefitted from trade agreements and globalization. Globalization has produced very different outcomes for different industries and regions, benefitting some and hurting others. Leaders of existing political parties have failed to grasp and respond to these changes leaving room for others to take up the cause of the white working class. TPP trade agreement for instance benefits the information technology industry and hurts the automobile industry in the U.S., producing unequal outcomes that come after years of job losses and hollowing out in some industries- making it unpopular, and raising questions about the wisdom of such policies when most of the gains in free trade are already behind us according to Krugman and other experts.

The Bernie Sanders U.S. presidential campaign of 2016 and Howard Dean's campaign in 2004- upward mobility for working class Americans the issue in 2016, the Iraq war in 2004
08/09/2015
Howard Dean was governor of Vermont and Sanders was Mayor of Burlington, Vermont. Both candidates draw white, educated, affluent voters of the Democratic Party. But the situation is different in 2014, with the Democratic Party now 40% female, and many ethnic minorities represented in the party. Dean's major issue was his opposition to the Iraq war. Sanders says his positions are more class based and calls for a revolution to give working class Americans a chance for upward mobility.

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.
