I'm 67, I changed my voter registration from No Party Affiliation (for the past thirty years) to democrat so that I could vote in Florida's primary for Bernie. If you live in a closed primary state, I suggest you do the same. It took me all of five minutes to do it online and I will change back after the election. You need to do it soon, some states have a cut off date. I believe Florida's is mid February.

Boomer for Bernie here. Never been so excited to vote in my 70 years.

[Dr.Grafenberg]

The voters need to figure out how to run tom perez out of washington. By voting or otherwise.

As an old boomer, I would add Bernie should continue with his version of MLK's statement about socialism for the rich and cut throat capitalism for the working class. As Saagar might say, that's the truth, Biden and the MSM are so stupid.

I'm a boomer and my boomer family is voting for Bernie.
2016 Bernie would've won.
2020 Stop Bernie? Are you kidding me?
We run the corrupt Democrats out of Washington by voting for Bernie.
We run the corrupt Republicans out of Washington by voting for Bernie.
Then, we support Bernie as President and the Senators or Representatives who give him a bad time, we vote them out.
We can do this. Remember it's not HIM it is US.

I've seen Bernie's rallies he has a lot of boomers. I'm a retired Progressive and a Boomer and Bernie has my vote. It's not about me I will never stop fighting for my grandchildren and their children and everyone's children.

67 year old retired teacher here, supporting Bernie 200%! So much for the “older people don’t support Bernie” narrative!

[KAndrew]

This show is a very good source of intelligent, well balanced debate I have found on YouTube ! Thanks for the great discussion that appeals to the vast audience of independents!

[bhavens]

People who are FDR Dems like Bernie, that is of course why this old woman likes him. :)

'silent' generation 4 Senator Sanders

[fahriakalin]

my parents were Bernie Boomers but they died hug your parents tell them you love them and make sure they vote for Bernie Sanders

[iberns]

Texas Boomer here and I'm #BernieOrBust Many of my Trumpster Boomer neighbors are considering Bernie for #M4A/SS There's a reason they stopped polling Texas after Bernie was number 1 in July 2019.

I'm so disappointed in mainstream media NBC I was wasting my time watching meet the press and once again they talk Pete & Joe and Klobachar and no Bernie and he's leading. WHY? I just don't understand why they waste their time talking Amy.

[ddmantwoguns]

Hillary Clinton would endorse Donald Trump over Bernie Sanders any day.

[seanm.]

Just bring up that he is the second coming of FDR. That should help things along the way

[davidearnhardt]

I am definitely a dedicated #Boomer4Bernie. Am texting for Bernie right now, and believe in him with my whole heart. Our country AND our world need a Sanders presidency.

[TheNaturalebeauty]

I am almost 33 and have nearly cut all CNN, MSNBC and CBS broadcasts from my news playlists. I love this show, as it provides a balanced perspective.

[meandyouagainstthealgorith]

Does, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Kennedy also scare you?

[larrybgood]

It needs to be explained that employees are actually paying for their company-supplied insurance through their labor. It’s coming out of their salary. If employers don’t have to supply health insurance they can pay their employees more.

Yes, they’ll pay a little more in taxes but they’ll take home bigger paychecks and have no out of pocket expenses.

My Dad always said, "Everyone votes on election day. If you don't get into the booth you are voting for your opponents."
