3. Speaking only for myself

I don't seriously engage in political debates like the ones here on DU because
everybody here has already decided.
I have lots of political conversations IRL but I don't try
to convert people.

Here's my personal take on this primary.
Bernie and his sipporters are angry really angry and they want everybody
else to be as angry as they are.
They're the politics of getting even.
Sticking it to Banks or wall street of the 1% or some
other large vague nameless faceless entity.

Hillary and her supporters aren't angry.
They don't seem to hate anything.
We're more about the politics of changing what we can say more regulation
of financial trading or more oversight on enviro issues.

I think as a group we're pretty optimistic.
We don't come from a position that everything just sucks so we're not interested in tearing everything down.

For all the volume and big rally crowds the 2 angry candidates Bernie and Trump aren't getting a lot of votes.

Trump is winning for the GOP because people can't stand Cruz.
