Edit: actually yeah, it was 18-29.

But anyway, please explain the philosophical and substantive difference between a 29 year old and a 30 year old please.. or a 31 year old.. there is none.

I'm not being deliberately obtuse, I'm pointing out the silliness of generational hot takes like that, which did not originate with you but with punditry guys. It's far better to look at other demographic markers ( income level, gender, ethnicity) than simply age. There is no singular millennial experience. I am a millennial and I did not support Sanders.

But I will grant you that there was antagonism towards Clinton by millennials who bought into Misinformation and dezinformatsiya which was rampant on social media. As an anecdote, some of my own friends changed their minds on Clinton when they realised they were duped.
