same reason as Santa is. He gives out presents
Because he’s an ultra leftie, and a “believer” who appeals to the Dem/Socialist base. It’s just that simple.
How is Bernie Sanders still a Senator?
Because people are stupid and don’t realize that socialism hasn’t worked once in all the times it’s been tried? Oh that’s right. Bernie can do it better.
EASY! He's NOT Hillary!
Because he promises them an extended adolescence where the Government will replace the Parents as the source of extending their free ride.
You can get half the voters to vote for you if you promise that you’ll steal from the other half.
Top Three Reasons Bernie is Doing Well:
1) Because the campus hipsters think he’s cool.
2) Millions of Public school teachers are Marxists or Feminazis and therefore love the fellow Marxist, Bernie.
3) The rest know Hillary and the Clintons are untrustworthy, corrupt, and a bad joke.
For the same reason the 50% brain dead voted in Barry...
Anyone but Hillary.
FREE STUFF !!!
And, as contrasted with Hillary, who these liberal radical young people perceive as NOT sufficiently liberal/radical, it’s a no brainer that they support Sanders.
Also, people who haven't been taught that there;s no such thing as a free lunch or actual history, especially the bloodthirsty killing and freedom crushing that accompanies Socialism think, “Wow, free stuff!” and gladly enter the Iron barred wagon from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Only Dick Van Dick and Benny Hill won't be around to save them.
There is no comical saxophone music in North Korea when they come to take you to the concentration camp.
Americans on both the right and left are DESPERATE for a president that will put American citizens first and not everyone else in the world.
Trump and Sanders are both being fueled by this.
Because there is an ever growing segment of “adults” who are stuck in perpetual adolescence, who don’t want to work hard, study hard, or risk anything. They want someone to take care of them and that someone is government.
In short - they’re losers.
Because they think he’s the candyman.
Well lets see. Democrat voters are leftists and Republican voters, over the last presidential and mid terms, backed guys that are pro abortion, believe in global warming, supported or helped invent Romne...er Obamacare, hate conservatives and a lot of other fully hard left positions. 70,000,000 Republicans or so.
And you can SERIOUSLY ask why an open socialist is popular? He represents the demonstrated values of the the majority of American voters.
Sanders is popular because he is sincere and honest. He is also WRONG, but he is candid and he has never tap danced about who he is.
EVERY establishment politician is struggling right now. People have hit a saturation point with glib, disingenuous hypocrisy.
Sanders benefits from the dumb earnestness of his failed notions.
