I was impressed when I turned on MSNBC and CNN and they were showing Bernie's rally. I turned on Fox and they were showing Trump's incoherent rambling at CPAC

Young people love Bernie. Young people are very vocal online. But they need to get out to the polls to make their voice truly heard.

You got to admit that so far Bernie Sanders is the front runner. If Biden (or Beto) steps in that may very well change. I really do truly like Bernie Sanders and voted for him in the primary 2016. Beto or Biden would have to convince me to vote otherwise. Regardless, I will vote for the Democratic candidate. Staying home would be incredibly stupid.
