2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)What Millennials think about the latest Hillary/Chelsea Clinton claim r.e. Sanders [View all]
I've seen OP's and individual posts talking about Hillary, Chelsea, and the Millennial vote. Below is an excerpt from Reddit's politics section. By default, posts are sorted by most popular (most "likes"
. I've read through the first 200 responses, and they're overwhelmingly against Clinton. Sure, this is anecdotal, but I believe it's a lot easier to pick up on the zeitgeist at work by listening to what Millennials are saying, rather than polling them. And what they're saying does not bode well for Hillary Clinton.
Here's an excerpt, just a few comments. I'd urge you to look at the full post though. It was striking to me how much unanimity there was against Clinton.
"What exactly are Chelsea Clinton's credentials that anyone should give a fuck what she says about policy?
This isn't a monarchy, who your Dad (or husband, for that matter) is should not grant you any authority.
Enough Bushes, enough Clintons. New blood, please."

"The thing is she does not relate to young people at all. Most younger Americans are struggling with school loans, living with their parents, and finding a good job with benefits. Chelsea grew up in a powerful, well connected, millionaire family. She relates to most of us about as much as Hillary does."
--
"she married into Goldman Sachs, so she has to defend her mom who is sponsored by them as well."
This is not me cherry-picking the anti-Clinton comments. They're almost ALL negative.
