How many are "all" and the young people that I'm talking to say that they would rather have universal healthcare, job creation, affordable housing, and food that they can afford to buy.

My point is that it depends on who you talk with, and many young people today are more pragmatic realists and seem depressed.

Being easily confused and apathetic often comes with being beaten down by life. So it's hard not to feel their pain.
