>kid comes into class today wearing a bernie sweater
> a couple students compliment it which starts a classwide discussion on who everyone supports.
I shit you not, 90% of my class supports bernie, the rest seem to not give a shit. I'm the only Trump supporter. BTW this engineering class not liberal studies.
Wtf is wrong with people my age? I assumed most people werent that into politics but those who were would be evenly split on candidates yet every fucker seems to want bernie.
Is /pol/ really just a vocal minority or are there places where I can move with likeminded individuals. I live in one of the reddest states, trump won by a landslide here too. Bernie beat shillary though.
>>70952442
I just cant understand how so many seemingly smart people can support an idiot like bernie. Though everyone in my class is mostly scrawny betas. From what ive seen frat boys at my school support trump but i dont want to associate myself with those degenerates
>>70952442
Free shit.
>>70952760
Fine im a heartless son of a bitch then, sorry i'm pragmatic rather than idealistic
The majority of people have no understanding of politics or at best a very shallow knowledge. Additionally, most people, especially at a young age, are incapable of thinking of long-term consequences of pretty much anything. Most people would rather opt for short-term gain and suffer in the long-run rather than the other way around.
This election isn't about policy OP
It's about:
1) Taking on the establishment/campaign finance/crony capitalism
2) cultural take back from the sjws
Policy matters very literal if the system is rigged and you can't say what needs to be said
>>70952678
Cause they're young. I think late 20s are the age where people start to wise up - but then again idk, I've always been a conservative whose believed in small government, low taxation, and earning your keep by the sweat of your brow.
>>70953012
If you're on /pol/, especially regularly, it's pretty much established you're heartless. People here don't really reflect your typical young person. People tend to move more to the right as they get older because they have responsibilities, frankly, they don't want to pay tax for leeches.
>>70952442
many probably don't care about politics and just said Bernie so they fall in line with popular choice; the rest believe they are enlightened but cant understand basic economics such as why uber would have price surges during big events. They just see this as "greed."
>>70952442
Don't worry, once you get to middle school they will stop supporting him
>>70952442
He gun pay their loans off after school!

Book smarts =/= wisdom
>>70952442
It's honestly the same in all colleges anon. You forget that Bernie holds like 90% of the millennial vote from pandering. It's going to be on pretty much every college campus. Half his supporters don't know his policies they just like what he says and feel he is "progressive" no matter how absurd he gets with pandering. It's disgusting but it shows how he is not actually discussing politics, just identity politics and it's shitty but college kids eat that shit up. Don't believe the hype for a minute, half his supporters don't even go out and vote.
Democrats always run on gimmicks to appeal to the less politically involved. I know people who want Bernie because "dude weed lmao, free college, free healthcare, good speaker" and hate Trump because he's a racist. Most of their political views come from headlines from links on social media, not just from news articles either, like buzzfeed type shit.
>>70952442
Jewish brainwashing
>>70952442
Your sample dipshit. It's a bunch of college kids. Of course you're going to go with mr. "Free shut for all and happy feelings"
Get a little older, work a while, and you get tired of watching your paycheck subsidize failures real fucking quick.
1. They don't pay taxes
2. They're brainwashed into cultural Marxism
3. Bernie loves everyone, man, and Trump is like, racist and shit.
>>70952442
It's because so many young people lack hope.
They look ahead, and they don't see growing prosperity, but only decline. They don't see the point of having ambitions because their ambitions will be crushed. Their futures won't be filled with achievement and accomplishment because that's not America anymore.
So they want communism, because it seems easier.
>>70953651
Die screaming silently Jew.
>>70952442
Should've asked them if they voted in their primary. Bet none of them did and complain asking why Hillary is beating him.
blame it on social media
it's the in thing to support Bernie or Hillary and it's cool to hate on Trump.
>>70952442
Young people love to feel part of a group, which is why "being popular" and "being cool" are at the forearm of every middle school to college student.
Your classmates are collectivists, a hivemind or at least they know that it is so they just go along with whatever nonsense is currently the latest fad.
They're people who are in engineering courses, they're making smart decisions.
WHO CARES LMAO DUDE WEED
Because he's the only candidate that wants to end the trajectory of millennials getting fucked over their whole lives.
I don't know how any educated person could support any other candidate. It's illogical.
>>70952442
90% of your class probably uses reddit
>>70952442
>Thinking college students wouldn't support a candidate who panders specifically to their desire not to pay back their student loans.
>thinking college students are a good represention of all Americans' political views.
>>70953735
This.
You have no idea how quickly a conversation shuts down when you ask them where they get their info on Trump from. I ask if they get news from places like their Facebook wall or late night establishment comedians and they get pissed rather quickly.
>>70952442
>Wtf is wrong with people my age
they don't want lobbyists to continue to run the country.
DUDE FREE COLLEGE LMAO
>>70952442
Once we get rid of the department of education things should get better. I just hope it's not too late.
>>70952442
bet if it was a trump hat he'd be made to take it off and/or run out of class
dat double standard
>>70952442
good thing you faggots are underage v& and can't vote so nobody gives a fuck.
>>70952442
Anon we are a vocal minority everyone on this board was probably bullied when they where young or beaten by their dads or moms. Now we lash out at the society that created us,
>>70952442
Just start putting up posters and strew around flyers showing exactly how the Bernie tax would affect them.
>>70954474
Fuck you dude.
I just want to hit that perfect beat boy!
>>70954821
This statement has a little weight to it. From what I've seen, most of those kids' major issue is ending corruption, not "dude free shit lmao." That being said, a lot are annoying or collectivist as fuck
>>70952442
They're socially conditioned to believe that socialism works.
Also, most of your classmates are leeches on government assistance.
>>70954944
>>70954758
>late night establishment comedians
Those piss me off more than anything. They don't realize those shows are there to entertain, not to actually report facts
>>70952760
Most serious sources point to that quote being misattributed to him. It's been pinned to many figures.
>>70953427
When did Bernie mention Uber prices?
Or is that just an illustrative example.
You know, if I was american, I would actually support bernie.
And only if he lost primerize, I would rather switch side and vote for Trump.
And yes, I am commie, of cource.
>>70954060
Bernie is a social democrat, not a communist or totalitarian.
Youve spent near 2 decades with the government telling you what to do. You don't know anything else. When to eat lunch, raise your hand to piss, mandatory penis checks, gay sex tips, women should hate men, boys are rapists and incompetent so keep them interested in shit like unicorns. Hate your parents even though they have no control of the school anymore. Count my word there will be generations of fucktards because of common core.
>>70952442
>kids who don't know any better flock to waffling old white man socialist
I for one am shocked.
>>70955432
Oh.
>>70952442
/pol/ is a part of the growing alt right group that the media says is largely made up of college educated males. We're a minority in a sea of barneyfags but we're making gains.
People also tend to be liberal when they're young, luckily they have low turnouts in elections.
>>70952678
I noticed this at my university too, the frat bros tend to be pro-Trump. I wish to befriend them and discuss our great leader but our lifestyles are incompatible. I'm not chad enough.
>>70952442
social fears just like here
people who vote trump just go with a more neutral option that is socially acceptable
i'd bet some of those bernie supporters and those who claim they don't know support trump
like here, if you support sd most people say "oh i don't know who to vote for" or claim they are social democrat mostly out of social fears and, being sweden, fear of getting fired for breaking the works values
>>70954944
>tfw you're a middle class american that had a great start in life
Does that mean I am privileged?
>>70955432
Jew Bernie shouldn't even be allowed to participate in politics, by all rights he should be in a concentration camp.
>>70954689
>"free" college
Useless degrees are still useless. People less motivated to complete courses. Hyper inflation of college grads in job market. Supply and demand. Too many CS grads, not enough CS jobs. Value of CS grads plummet
>federal minimum wage set to $15/hr
Busibesses already have to pay for insurance for full time workers.
Corporations adjust to new wages. Automate as much as they can. Hire less people
Mom and Pop store cant afford sudden wage increase, cant afford to staff business, cant afford to pay healthcare. Go out of business. Corporation fills nieche.
>increase taxes on 1%
The one percent already account for around 70% of ALL tax revenue. They are already being overtaxed. They are already outsourcing labor and production. They are already keeping their corporate headquaryers out of the nation. More taxes, especially 90% of incone taxes will send them fleeing to Europe in droves.
If you think a total collapse of our economy would help idiot millenials, I pity you.
>>70955432
All that means is people vote for socialism and once the ruling class takes over, communism because the norm.
i was talking to a friend yesterday, when I asked who he supported he said he was "feeling the bern".
He also described the south as a "bucket of crabs" because we didn't support candidates like bernie.
I hate all the candidates but all of my friends would rather vote in hillary over trump, and I'm fucking furious over that.
>>70955927
Socialism is the tool of the patient Communist.
>>70952442
Trump supporters have generally a good sense of humor, I think that is lacking in college and unviversity. They're thin-skinned, insecure and often depressed kids. They're afraid of demonstrations of strength and just can't handle the banter, so they follow the least threatening candidate.
>>70954944
So that's why Aussies shitpost so much.

>can't make it with frat bros
Wew lad
>>70955432
He claims himself he's a "democratic socialist" which means worker control of the means of production. There's no pussyfooting around socialism either you believe in that or you're not a socialist. Socialism has brought misery to everyone it has ever been tried on everywhere. Don't even say "new deal" because fucking highways aren't "socialism". The Nordic countries are not paradises and have the highest costs of living in the world and are facing their greatest economic and sociopolitical crisis yet (aloha snackbar)

>Trump, a billionaire from Wall Street doing any real change
Yea sure keep on believing that
Blind Bernie supporters are actually worse than the average Trump supporter, and that's saying something.
>>70956704
Trump isn't from "Wall Street" you stupid muslim faggot.
Why do so many students vote Bernie? Their "free" college education will only come into reality when they left university and by that time they pay for the education of others. Zero benefit, bear all the consequences.
We did one of those stupid gov't spending exercises today in my econ class and every single group of students decided on increased education spending and decreased military spending for no other reason than "education is investment in the future we need more educated people, and war is bad and guns are stupid" This shit is literally the status quo.
>>70957018
Bernie will lower the interest rate for repayment. Funny thing is, Hilary will offer more viable plans when it comes to repayment of loans.
>>70957339
But those interest rates would not be retrospective either and would only apply for new credits. Current students would still gain nothing.
>>70956389
>Bernie
>literally Soviet Union

The Nordic countries are quite expensive, but there's no comparing any Western socialist or social democratic country with hellholes like Stalin's USSR or Romania.

>>70952442
Being a nationalist/libertarian demands that you think about things a little.
It's easier for most people to just accept that nice people are both smart and good.
Since the media call Trump evil, most people assume he is, and that he must be wrong.

I can't understand like an idiot like yourself would rather hide and bitch on an anonymous image board rather than you proudly declaring yourself a Trump supporter and then calmly debating them on the merits of both candidates. Are you scared they might start yelling at you?
>>70959209
>Sweden
>>70952678
Post your picture.
Also Bernie holds 90% of the vote because he's the only one of the candidates who actually addressing them and some of their concerns. The rest are going after the Baby Boomers. People tend to like someone when they recognize they exist.
I play mlb the show a lot, me and my friends loce to troll noobs with our trump jerseys. I am a good player too and beat some bernie faggot who got super triggered over my Jersey sending me messages about how gay my MAGA Jersey was. Fucking glorious.

This
these people are holding their frustrations with who they think are not fit to our multicultural society.
Bernie is a symbol of hope sort of speak becasue he is a character that tells them exactly what they want to hear. Because these manchildren and crybabies have been told all their lifes they are special ( by their families, by the media, by the internet, by absolutely everyone) they truly believe it.
A quote from Ronald Reagan explains it fair enough:
>All of it began the first time some of you who know better and are old enough to know better let young people think that they have the right to choose the laws they would obey as long as they were doing it in the name of social protest.
What we have to deal with now is young passive-agressive wannabe revolutionaries with selective blindness and bad comprehension of the world as it is. USEFUL IDIOTS.
>>70954689
well politics adn elections has always been about who get´s it easier this time, it´s understandable, but berniebots have an obsession with their selfrightousness and how they want to change the world.

This. Of course, sometimes you need to pick your battles, but I've heard so many right-wing people complain about how they're oppressed by leftists. The irony is palpable. Unless you're facing a mob of them, like with Aids Skrillex and Carl, they're not even going to shout at you. They recognise it when you're not cucked and swiftly change to the "B-but what about (insert minority)? Don't you have a heart?" narrative.
>>70952442
Bernie is running on a campaign that reduces corporate welfare, protects the middle class, and focuses on amending a corrupt system.
It's entirely obvious why students would buy into this platform. Are you daft?
>>70952442
and 100% of your class is not eligible to vote. take your underage shit and fuck right off
>>70952442
Ask people this question when you get into a discussion about Bernie:
>Why does the US dollar hold value?
You'll either get blank stares or some serious bullshit answers.
Oh, and you had better have some knowledge about how our monetary system works. Learning about fractional reserve banking is a serious redpill for a lot of people.
From there, you can start slicing and dicing Bernie's policies.
>>70964961
Better phrasing:

It's crazy that if you go to Reddit or Tumblr or whatever and spot a anti-republican circlejerk, you will notice that the posts are pretty much the same, and both of you accuse each other of same things.
You guys are way much more alike then you fathom
protip: Trump Policies are somewhat more similar to Bernie then to any other republican candidate
>>70952442
>how come children, who have been economic dead weights and 100% dependant leeches their entire lives, in and out of various government institutions, like socialism?
I can't believe im saying this, but thank god the boomers had no kids and are all still alive. 18-25 year olds have absolutely no business voting and its a good thing they are vastly outnumbered by adults.
once they actually have to participate in the market for a few years they might grow up
this is the big danger of liberals expanding gov institutions, people who work there can continue to be leftists because they are insulated from the market
>>70964633
If you use lines like
"You don't have the beleive the lies CNN tells you because everyone else does, here listen..."
"I hope you aren't being stupid on purpose"
"Why would you get facts from the people who fund Hillary and Ted, listen..."
"Why would trump keep knowingly ruin his personal image if he wasnt 100% sure of..."
If you attack their intelligence that they have so much pride for they start to feel like they haven't really thought it out. Once they become unsure you drop small redpills and nothing autistic. Let them come to the conclusion yourself. Get 100% well versed on what you're going to talk about.
They're emotional. Use that to your advantage.
>>70966712
Good advice. Most of them already crack if you just disagree with them, though. Sure, they won't change world views right then and there (I've only succeeded in that once in uni and it took years), but I'm sure as fuck not keeping my mouth shut because I'm afraid of them. Many people are afraid people don't like them, so thw first step is to stop caring about the opinion of people you yourself don't even like.
