Liberals are beginning to hit the panic button on the 2016 election, fearing that Gary Johnson is siphoning off millennials and Bernie Sanders supporters from Hillary Clinton.
ThinkProgress came out with an article calling Johnson’s moderate and liberal positions a myth and claimed he was undeserving of these young voters.
The column claims that Johnson is in total opposition with Sanders on several positions including Citizens United, the Trans Pacific Partnership, climate change, social security, minimum wage, free college tuition, and Medicare for all.
Unlike Sanders, who wanted to increase federal spending on basically everything but military spending, Johnson proposed a 20 percent cut to federal government spending.
“This effectively means the government taking a massive step back and letting corporations fill the gap. In Johnson’s America, corporations will be completely in charge of the environment, health care, retirement, trade and wages,” Judd Legum said in Progressive Today. “This should not be appealing to former Bernie Sanders supporters. But, up until now, it has been. And whether it remains that way could have a big impact on the outcome of the 2016 election.”
