Political pundits are awash in comparing the youth vote behind America's Bernie Sanders and Britain's Jeremy Corbyn, two "grumpy old socialists from the sidelines of politics who have been saying the same thing since the 1980s" and now suddenly find themselves being "idolised as the standard-bearers of a new leftwing movement", writes The Guardian.

As the race is holding in polling this moment, there is one factor in America's caucus, primary voting that may break differently. Young voters of color have not yet bought into Bernie Bern. Always looking to read the data in the least critical thinking required analysis, it's true that Bernie Sanders is cleaning up with younger voters in Iowa and New Hampshire. But all projections are that he meets a very different tribe of young voters as he heads south.

In all honesty, all of America's young voters are up against the wall with insecure futures. But young people of color are more so, whichmay be a reason why they're not so quick to jump on the Bernie Sanders bandwagon. No matter what the Sanders crowd says, it's not as if Hillary Clinton has no history in political activism among people of color.

Left-Leaning Economists Question Cost of Bernie Sanders Plans New York Times

By the reckoning of the left-of-center economists, none of whom are working for Mrs. Clinton, the proposals would add $2 trillion to $3 trillion a year on average to federal spending; by comparison, total federal spending is projected to be above $4 trillion in the next president’s first year. “The numbers don’t remotely add up,” said Austan Goolsbee, formerly chairman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, now at the University of Chicago.

Alluding to one progressive analyst’s criticism of the Sanders agenda as “puppies and rainbows,” Mr. Goolsbee said that after his and others’ further study, “they’ve evolved into magic flying puppies with winning Lotto tickets tied to their collars.”
