The Hill: "Bernie Sanders for young and old"
link; excerpt:
Sanders is driving the debate on the Democratic side of the presidential campaign as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is driving the debate from the Democratic side of the aisle in Congress. For those who care about the values and future of the Democratic Party, and understand the urgency for Democrats to motivate their supporters to vote in elections, Sanders and Warren may be the two most important Democrats in America.
The intergenerational appeal of Sanders is one of the least understood aspects of the Sanders' popularity and has gone underreported by media commentators, who are consumed by which group of Americans Donald Trump is insulting on any given day.
While Trump is insulting a large swath of Americans, Sanders is appealing to Americans across all age groups.
...
Bernie Sanders is a true populist and true progressive and from young students seeking a college education to senior citizens seeking fairness in Social Security benefits, he offers an intergenerational populism and progressivism that is good for Democrats and good for America.
