I'm 32 with an MS and working on an MBA, have a good management level job, sit on the board of a nonprofit, no student loan debt, and a wealth of experience navigating the American health insurance & medical system as a 9 year, stage IV cancer survivor who was well-insured and yet still faced homelessness and huge debt thanks to my diagnosis.
While I'm a Warren supporter, I will have no problem voting for Bernie in the general election and volunteered for him in the primaries in 2016. Most of my friends are similarly well educated (lots of JDs, MBAs, MS, and PhDs among us) and I'm one of the few supporting Warren over Sanders.

I can only think of one that supports Bernie. She is someone I worked with and we are still Facebook friends. I'm gently trying to get her to stop all of the TDS hate rhetoric, but she won't. She's lost Facebook friends over it. She's a bit of an emotional thinker with a low paying job. Getting people to stop the hate and to stop being useful idiots for Putin on both sides is difficult. Ive said it before and I'll say it again. Low information emotional thinkers are a bigger danger to our country than Putin's disinformation campaign. Bernie supporters? Some of them are just as crazy as Trump supporters that believe every lie.
I know a small handful of Bernie supporters, maybe 5-6. 2 are kids, college age-they want a government to take the place of mommy and daddy and care for them. 2 others have managed to qualify for disability (but still manage to ride motorcycles) and don't work for a living. One other is in a menial job but makes no effort to improve.
Just curious how common this is among Bernie supporters. Do most live up to the stereotypes that you'd expect to support socialism? Or do you actually know some with decent jobs that pay taxes-and support him anyway?
Answer to your question ignoring the very obviously baited OP.
Have I met a Bernie supporter over 30 with a decent job? - Answer Yes. Several.
Funnier still. I have yet to meet anyone who says they support Biden or Bloomberg. And none of you here will commit to it either.
Funny that’s usually the case with Trump stickers here in Colorado...except it is a junky truck with a gun rack.
I see a lot of expensive houses with Bernie signs here in Denver.
I'm not surprised you see Burnie signs in Menver...Up here in Weld county, we have decent hardworking Conservative types!
