Maybe more than any other group, millennials have benefited from President Obama and Democrats' work to alleviate student loan debt, reform banking regulations, and allow young people to stay on their parent's health insurance or purchase affordable coverage. We've made some great strides, but those gains are in peril. We are especially grateful to Senator Bernie Sanders for his successful efforts to engage young people about the issues that matter most to us and incorporate them into our party's platform. We agree with the Senator that Hillary Clinton is the best possible option for Americans of all ages this November 8th.
Young Dems are with Her

Despite a near universal desire for an end to Venezuela’s manmade disaster, sending in U.S forces to take out the Maduro regime would be counter-productive. It should be categorically rejected by interim president Juan Guaidó, not to mention the Trump administration.
The firing of undocumented workers at Trump's golf clubs just shows how the practice of employing immigrants without legal work papers is much more common than we might imagine. Such is life in the United States.
The Trump administration should be wary of fueling fake news predictions about an imminent American invasion which unrealistically raises expectations about Maduro's removal.
At some point we will have to accept the fact that the border between Mexico and the United States is nothing more than an invention.
The United States has had a major role in the evolving drama of the fight for democracy in Venezuela and Nicaragua. And so far, it’s been surprisingly coordinated, a veritable model of multilateralism.
Has the Maduro regime reached breaking point? It remains hard to say, but tomorrow is another - more hopeful - day for the restoration of democracy in the South American nation.
It’s impossible to get into Trump’s head but what comes out of his mouth are racist remarks. But, saddest of all are the millions who tolerate his views, cheer him on and emulate his behavior.
The time is well past due for the U.S. government to conduct a thorough review of leaders and their senior colleagues before they leave office to determine if they merit visas.
While a Trump presidency would destabilize our economy, our society, and our foreign relations in ways that we cannot yet predict, we aren't casting our votes against Donald Trump. We're enthusiastically voting for Hillary, because she stands with us on issues of marriage equality, criminal justice reform, and women's reproductive rights. We're with Hillary, because our entire lives, we've watched her build coalitions that provided health insurance for millions of children as First Lady, protected our 9-11 first responders as a Senator from New York, and made our world safer as Secretary of State.
We're with Hillary not just because of the progress we wish to protect. We're with her, because of what we hope to someday accomplish. We're with her, because we look forward to a day when men and women of color have no reason to fear a routine traffic stop. We're with her, because we are hopeful for a time when LGBT+ workplace and housing discrimination is a thing of the past. We're with her, because we want pay equality for women, ethnic minorities, and the disabled. For these reasons, and so many more, we stand with her, we support her, and we can’t wait to vote for her and Democrats up and down the ballot across the country.
