Cathy Line: It’s a question of freedom, not economics
Re “Why do kids like democrats?” (Letters, Feb. 22): Young citizens of this country do not support Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders because of promises of “free stuff,” as you concluded in your letter. The reason young citizens support Bernie and Hillary is because they do not want to support the GOP field of candidates who openly state they are against equal rights, equal access to health care and want their personal religious beliefs to dictate how the Constitution is interpreted.
You are alarmed this group of young voters favor the Democratic candidates? I am alarmed you don’t.
Cathy Line, Modesto
