to fight those, who only care for the 15-18%, who are
earning more than $120 or more so,and are happy with
their situation and the status quo.

Believe me, more of us will join that revolution, whether
Bernie wins or loses. The movement will grow.

"Well, those kids are really excited so we'd better let them have their guy instead of the winner"?

What's your answer to not stifling their enthusiasm? Because honestly, if losing a primary is all it takes to remove the wind from your political sails you've got no business paying attention to electoral politics. I'm in middle age and this is the first time I can remember not backing the loser in a primary.

And they're actually doing everything in their power to provoke a reaction. They want an excuse to put us back in our place and to write us off as some crazy angry fringe.
