You can find countless Sanders memes, gifs, and YouTube videos on almost every form of social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the ongoing support online, there doesn\u2019t seem to be enough support in the voting booths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida\u2019s recent primary election was an utter disappointment. Considering that I constantly witnessed, \u201cFeel the Bern,\u201d all across my Twitter and Facebook feed, I assumed he would win the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/clinton-and-sanders-go-toe-to-toe-during-kendall-campus-democratic-debate\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">democratic primary<\/span><\/a> vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Sanders received only 33.3 percent of the votes, while Hillary Clinton, his democratic opponent, received 64.4 percent. These numbers put them at a whole 31.1 percent difference. So, either everyone decided they weren\u2019t feeling so much of the \u201cBern\u201d or no one went out to vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statisticbrain.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Statistic Brain<\/span><\/a>, only 58.5 percent of 18 to 24 year olds are registered to vote. That means that most of Sanders\u2019 online supporters are nothing but online supporters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t make a difference for your country if you don\u2019t go out there and really make a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanders is a presidential candidate that is willing to help the working class, offer education to those who can\u2019t afford it, fight for the rights of women, support LGBT equality, and so much more. Sanders is a candidate that is willing to make a difference in America. He is fighting to make that difference. That\u2019s why he was the candidate I voted for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot at stake this election. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is willing to make the lives of millions of Americans difficult. Despite the fact that he wants to make so many lives miserable, he still has an incredible amount of support. It\u2019s amazing how people continuously support a man who is willing to jeopardize so much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump has the potential to be the next president of the United States. This is an extremely terrifying image. This man will not make America great again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Trump were to become president, the American economy will decline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump\u2019s other idea to deport all illegal immigrants will cost millions of dollars and we will also lose thousands of workers. Trump also wants to ban Muslims from entering the country and create a database of all Muslims who live in the United States. This database will be a complete violation of American citizen\u2019s First Amendment, which states \u201cCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These scenarios frighten me. This whole election frightens me, and I think everyone needs to wake up and see why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my honest opinion, I feel that my generation doesn\u2019t see the severity of this. One thing I\u2019ve noticed with my generation is that we tend to talk about taking action rather than perform these actions. And at the moment, talking instead of acting is something we, as a unit, cannot afford when it comes to this year\u2019s presidential election. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bernie Sanders has the highest college student support rating, at 84 percent, when it comes to 17 to 29 year olds.
