Bernie Sanders is struggling to gain traction with older Democratic voters, so his campaign is coaching young supporters on how to talk to their parents and grandparents during the holidays

DES MOINES, Iowa—Bernie Sanders is struggling to gain traction with Democratic voters over age 50, so his campaign is coaching thousands of young supporters on how to talk to their parents and grandparents during the holidays.

“It’s up to us as students and young people to make the moral appeal to our older relatives to join us in voting for Bernie, because let’s face it: they won’t be around for as long to deal with the consequences of this election, but we will be,” reads a document titled “Students for Bernie: Family Persuasion...

We don't want a commie. End of story. In fact, smart kids who plan on working to improve their lives and become all they can, don't want a communist either.

No, Bernie. NOT interested. And NOT thrilled about your attempts to 'indoctrinate' the young!

Too funny! Good luck with that Comrade Sanders!

Bernie is the one that needs coaching all he has to do is look back and see what socialism really is

How to Speak? Very slowly! Explain the advantages & succeed of socialism every other place it’s been tried! (It’s a sad, short story!) Then tell them to forget about their 60 or 80 years of experience & buy into a teen’s deep understanding of life & the world! Sure winner! Lol!

never never bernie

🤣😂😅 I don't think young supporters can convince their parents who have well-developed brains. Sanders' socialist ideas could only be believed by inexperienced youngsters-with few exceptions.

And unfortunately those people think their little darlings are as bright as hell and know much more than their knowledge attained over 40-60 years.

Their parents, over 50, likely worked very hard to provide their family with things that socialist parents could only wish for. Good try Bernie.

Socialism is a hard sell in this country, especially with people who have an appreciable amount of life experiences. You can bullshit twenty somethings on it, but then they go and grow out of it as they mature. BTW Trump is a jerk.

Sorry... Sanders and Warren will Never be the candidate to oppose Trump. This country is and never will be pro-Socialism. Take that to the bank. Now... What are the alternatives?

Bernie could appeal to older voters if he emphasized four things: he's not Donald Trump, he's not Joe Biden, he's a cranky old timer like us and there's no way Congress with either party in control will allow his socialistic proposals to become law.

Haha! He wants people who have barely paid taxes to get people who have paid taxes for thirty years to vote for socialism. He is a joke!!

What a load of crap says this 56 year old who doesn't want to think about losing my life savings to greedy healthcare scallywags! M4A

Breadline Bernie is struggling with a large demographic and no, it’s not communication

Hilarious, give it up already

Mom, Grampa, socialism is *good*...

Someone didn't take the hint in 16...

And their parents and grandparents are going to say shut up dummy, you dont know anything

LouisianaBernie Home health home health home health!

Ummm...Bennie is only a few years older than me. I've donated multiple times to his campaign, so...

But the parents have real life experiences and wisdom And pay taxes already.

I don't see how anyone can vote for that face, let alone his wacky policies.

Turn out the lights...✔

Don’t worry, grandma. Medicare for all euthanasia doesn’t hurt at all. And it costs less than treatment.

😂

Young is dum and old is smart!! There I just saved you a bunch of time going through this thread.

....do we really think BernieSanders is someone who should be teaching others how to communicate effectively? 😂

This generation is going to be in for a surprise when in term 2 Trump guts social security and Medicare. The cruelty of this Administration will expand beyond current targets of immigrants, black & poor communities.

Parents and grandparents grew up aware of the failed socialist countries in Central and South America not to mention the Soviet Union plus were around when Mugabe of Zimbabwe decided to redistribute land/wealth in his country and it went from the breadbasket of Africa to shit

Because anyone that has experienced life knows he is full of BS!
