Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie or Bust mostly younger people you think? [View all]
Why else would they threaten to stay home? It only makes sense if they are new to this and dont fully comprehend the consequences. And this is not a knock on them, but a wake up call for the rest of us, we got work to do!
If you claim you are a liberal and you say you are Bernie or Bust, what you are saying is you will only proactively vote if you get 100% of what you want, something that NEVER happens EVER in politics.
No rational person or real liberal will debate the fact that there are huge differences, mostly on social issues, between Hillary and the other party, therefore what you are saying is it doesn't matter, either you get ALL of what you want (has never happened in politics, never will) or you walk.
This is why I think so many Bernie supporters, the true Bernie supporters, not the ones who only care about attacking Hillary, are for the most part new at this.
I would be curious to see what age demographics the Bernie or Bust group is broken out.
If you know a younger person who is Bernie or Bust, explain to them how this works, please.
Dont waste your time accusing me of bashing young people, not doing that and if anything I am giving them credit for being engaged, and now they need to know the rest of the story.
If you are an older Bernie or Bust person who fully realizes the consequences, then nothing I say will matter, so I guess I am not talking to you.
