The center-left has not delivered for young people. The cost of living is crushing. My sister is 22 with a degree and full time job at UPS and it’s still difficult to afford life. I know this is due to right wing policies, but, we need to find a way to communicate to young people who don’t have pensions, an affordable home, etc. ignoring the problem or wagging our finger at them will get us more of the same.
