All I want is for young people to have the same opportunities I had when I was young. That should not be seen as a radical leftie position. What are now seen as radical left issues are considered moderate policies in most European countries & should be seen that way here as well.

Universal healthcare, free college, no college loan debt, no medical bankruptcy, fair minimum wage…those should be seen as basics provided by government to allow people a reasonable opportunity to thrive. PERIOD.

And our radical right wing politicians are considered “moderates”. Insanity. We desperately need to shift the Overton Window.

Preach. Biden and Pelosi could literally be in Canada's conservative party.

Then teach young people to rebel against the establishment. It’s the only way the crazy capitalism train that serves the few stops.

Appreciate the sentiment. People always want the opportunities they had to be passed on, but even "back then" the opportunities were limited. Let's wish better. I say this as a parent of 2 college aged kids. I don't want them to settle for my "opportunities."

Most kids right now just want to be able to go to school, see their friends, have a teacher not yell at them to keep their mask on and breath. Your party has harmed our children at a level I will never understand.
