In reply to the discussion: Nevadans have *zero* trust in Clinton, but voted for her to be President...Alll rightyyy then... [View all]quantass
(5,505 posts)For people to admit that they dont trust Hillary at all and "Is NOT like me" speaks volumes yet they vote for her?! Its as if they would rather stick with the devil they know than risk heading down a NEW unexplored path which definitely gets the neurons firing (and fear). I agree with your statement.
There was also some Quora post on Psychology talking about how it is much easier and preferred for humans to always choose the simpler choice. I see Hillary Clinton as the easy, few neurons firing, choice for the average simple minded person -- she's been around for some time, the press talks glowingly of her simple evolutionary changes -- whereas with relative unknown Bernie they hear words like socialism, the 1%, campaign finance reform, connections of corrupt money with disparity, etc. Woaaah, neuron overload!!!. It is likened to handing a modern day PS4 game controller to those of the late 70s Atari 2600. Wooosh! I think with time, bit by bit, the average mind gets more advanced compared to its predecessor allowing it to be more open to more complicated change the same way we all got used to a PS4 controller over a one button Atari 2600 joystick.
