3. its his legislative record I take issue with, and his tossing shade on my gen (Millennial/Gen Z)

do not see how the 2005 Bankruptcy bill he helped ram through (that made it almost impossible to get out from under students loans and also took away clean sheet bankruptcies from most all people) plus that snide attitude towards younger people is going to generate much enthusiasm in my age cohorts (say 18 to 39, I am 23).

Literally no one in my close social set supports him (of course we all will work to get him elected v the monster if he is the nominee). I have made a LOT of inroads flipping Bernie people over to Pete. Some also like Kamala Harris and also Warren, a few Beto people too. Many also want Stacey Abrams to run. Those are by far the top ones in my real life environs. I am a post grad PhD student and so so many of my friends at that level have student loans debt-loads of 100,000, 150,000, 200,000 USD. 2 are over 300K! That is madness.
