People are sick of getting screwed by the oligarchy for decades and being fed bullcrap. People react in different ways. Some turn to fighting for freedom and liberty, the progressive wing of our party and some turn to strong authoritarian leadership. Just like in the Great Depression, some turned to FDR (like Sanders side) and some turned to fascism (like the Trump side). The Clinton Wing want to continue the looting by the oligarchy.
