But the point is that there are young people who are seeing what their elders have warned about as a multi-generational problem that continues into their generation and will continue for many generations to come. This brings about the honing of the protest movement to bring about effective change but it shouldn't be shut down by DUers who suddenly embrace someone and now see what it's like to be on the "other side" of the fence, where they are now subject to experiencing the criticism of a favored candidate.
As I have seen pundits note - how a candidate responds to heckling and protests is part and parcel of how they would deal with the same if occupying the office of the President. With all the massive protests that our current President has faced, he didn't just throw up his hands and walk away. He addressed it - in a way however awkward or meaningful.
