Can left populists win older voters?

Irami Osei-Frimpong discusses the generational divide among populists, pointing to liberalism's lack of power to produce broader governing options.

I've never heard of Irami. But I like him! He's sharp. Please have him back. He is a young man with his pulse on America.

65 here, but streaming content versus being spoonfed by fearmongering, hawkish, divisive, cable TV propaganda.

65 & 70 here we love Bernard 'Bernie' Sanders

[havable]

I love that when Saagar interrupts its to say "that is a really good point". He is by far the only conservative public figure I have a positive opinion of.

[ict]

I'm considered "older" I support Bernie, like they say your only as old as you feel. I like feeling young, I like the ideas of the younger generation. The energy of the young keeps you young.

[ethanash]

Over 80% support from people 18-29 for Sanders. Wow!
Talk about a major generational divide.

[Lea-rbnc]

This BOOMER has been waiting my entire life for a candidate like Bernie. NO BERNIE, NO VOTE!

I've been a Sanders fan for years far before he was running for President and I l have always lived in the Western part of the US....and I'm 73....just sayin'

[kevinlavelle]

I like the way this guy thinks. You earned a sub here good sir.

$1.5 trillion to pay off college debt - Conservatives and Centrists "How are you going to pay for that?"
$1.5 trillion to boost the stock market for 1 hour- Conservatives and Centrists "National emergency. The economy needs boosting. We will worry about how to pay for that later."

In Seattle most Boomers I know love Bernie.

[kevchard]

The statement that the boomers have always been very selfish is the truest thing I have heard in a while.

[roushanam]

Bernie Sanders isn't a Boomer. He's Silent Generation.

[SummerOf]

Most Boomers sold out 40yrs ago. Their political philosophy is " Screw you I got mine"! BTW I'm an old Woodstock Hippie.

This guest was really great.
It's so interesting how when something is said a certain way or you give people a perspective of what they've been arguing over for decades, but you turn it upside down and you force people to think about that old problem in a new light... It's amazing.
I think there's a way for left and right populists to be one party. The Labor Party

[trudy]

It is not about age, it is about class and if this ageism keeps up, there won't be any chance for any of us. Bernie or doom.

[ravineseder]

I'm astonished by the naked bigotry being expressed in these comments. Old people are this, old people are that. Damn, would you listen to yourselves? Such shallow analysis and lack of nuance.

[lawnerd]

Irami's great. Please bring him on more.

[pvaughan]

Loved that you all had Irami Osei-Frimpong aka The Funky Academic. He is so thoughtful.

[miwillcreate]

And this is why Irami is my favorite philosophical thought leader.
