MM, it is genuinely good to hear that those who have been newly inspired by Sanders, the young people especially, did mostly vote. They stuck and turned out on election day, a hopeful sign for the future. Thanks for posting this.

Roguevalley, it might be helpful to remember that among Bernie's supporters are some people from the far left, and likely the far right too. Both the far left and the far right have a lot of people who are prone to seeing conspiracies where there are none. That includes far left writers. And certainly we have seen how conspiracy theories have sprung up to explain every single state Bernie did not take a majority of the vote in. Just something to consider when reading.

Although this article refers to a 2015 study, there are actually many other ones with the same sort of findings. The belief system at play in the 2016 primary, of course, is that the "system" is corrupt and thus has organized and united in a giant conspiracy to defeat their white-hatted enemy, Bernie Sanders.

Those were the findings of a recent study published in the journal Social Psychological & Personality Science. Researchers from the Netherlands’ VU University found that those who fall on the far right or far left of political ideology are more likely to “adhere to their belief system in a rigid fashion, leading them to perceive their political ideas as the simple and only solution to societal problems,” the team wrote, according to Pacific Standard.

People with these strong political mindsets also have strong tunnel vision, which makes it hard for them to make sense of worldwide events when they don’t align with their point of views. To wrap their heads around it, they craft or subscribe to elaborate conspiracies — no matter how far-fetched the conspiracy may seem, it makes a complex situation simple. These behaviors are then reinforced with conspiracy theorists’ tendencies to avoid news and other sources that refute their beliefs.
