establishment, Wall Street - Hillary's vote for IWR.
Hillary represented all and Sanders did not...but they knew nothing about him really or the process of picking a candidate. The difference between caucus vs primary, superdelegates.
They are the hippies of their generation who are in or followers of the jamband music festival scene, artists, dancers - bud trimmers... yoga teachers. Most went to college...white, mostly upper middle class upbringing, well traveled both here and abroad.
I was friends with about 49 of them - they thought I was cool until I outed myself as a Hillary supporter. I had to get off of Facebook during the primary I was so disgusted with the crap they were posting - the usual shit.... her with Robert Byrd, Donald Trump wedding, Henry Kissinger, Wall Street...memes galore of Hillary looking bad and snarky mean comments.
I figured after the primary it would change so I went back on but nope they were still raging.... the "it was rigged" shit started. Lots of #NeverHillary stuff and the DNC became enemy #1.
Peer pressure is powerful when you're young.
I had the honor of meeting Hillary at a private fundraiser because my son is friends with a billionaire's son and so I posted the picture... not one of them liked it.
My son was all for Bernie then switched and they treated him like a traitor. Most ended up voting but some did not or went 3rd party...
I had to deactivate - pretty disgusted with what I saw from these young folks who pride themselves on being "tolerant". Pretty sure the Democratic party is in real trouble with a huge chunk of millennials thanks to Sanders and his surrogates - maybe they'll change their tune post Trump. Who knows - I don't care - I'm glad I'm getting up in years.
