The veteran rocker recently became an American citizen.
, also took issue with the Democratic National Committee, saying they"pull[ed] every string" to stop Sanders during the last election in favor of Clinton, suggesting that the same is happening again in the battle between Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden.
"As a new citizen, I was excited to register to vote," wrote Young."Outside the courthouse after I was naturalized, there was a Democrat Party Registration booth. My first error as a U.S. citizen will be corrected now." The"error," he said, was registering with the Dems, which he has fixed by re-registering as an independent.
The reason Young said he supports Democratic Socialist Sanders is because of his consistency and Sanders' push for free college tuition, among other planks in the Senator's platform. The"Rockin' in the Free World" icon then went on to list the Sanders policies he doesn't consider that radical. "Fight CLIMATE CHANGE like it is real," he wrote."Eliminate STUDENT DEBT. Make COLLEGE TUITION free. Pay for it all with TAXES ON THE SUPER RICH. $15.00 MINIMUM WAGE. HEALTH CARE AS A HUMAN RIGHT! The GREEN NEW DEAL for millions of new jobs with a future."
Young also raged against Facebook, which he said"is corrupt and admits that it is," dubbing the social media giant as a service"full of bots and trolls." He believes in Sanders so much that Young encouraged loyal Trump supporters to write in to the Neil Young Archives site, which he promised will print their stories of the positive side of supporting the president.
