My 23 year old son pledges to vote for Bernie in the primary

But to wholeheartedly support our Democratic nominee whoever comes out on top.
A year ago he was saying “voting doesn’t matter” and “all politicians are the same”.

Somehow the conversation left me feeling uplifted!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

A few months ago my oldest was also giving me the, "What difference doesn't it make?" shrug, but I just kept my mouth shut and he cast his primary ballot today for Bernie. He got annoyed with me for going for Warren, even though I was about 50/51 between the two, Warren's gender swayed me. I'd be happy with either.

The youth know what's up. I'm telling you. Those kids are woke. They are more woke than we are! I swear to god!

Bernie will do a lot of good. M4A is needed. Badly.
