17. I believe it's mostly that they just don't get it.

They think that we will crawl to them happy for any crumbs they give us. They don't get that crumbs simply are not enough anymore. We have seen - because Bernie has proven it to us - that we do not need to be beholden to corporate money. We have seen that there are millions of people who believe we can fix this democracy. People who understand that you simply cannot fix it if you take corporate money. Because the first thing that has to happen is to get money out of politics.

They don't get that this isn't about Bernie, it's about a movement. They don't get that Bernie supporters are in for the movement, we aren't idolizing Bernie. We will never give up because it's about more than Bernie. They don't get that Bernie is not running because he dreams of being president but because he dreams of fixing this country and he will not give up.

They simply do not get that they are the antiquated bunch that are on the wrong side of history. And with their selfishness of not supporting the candidate who is the real progressive, the real liberal, the real fighter for equality for EVERYONE and the candidate that the youth supports, they are stealing the youth's future from them. The policies that Clinton will enact have already tried and failed. She is not going to try for what we need, she already told us we can't have it. Why would anyone put their future in her hands? Why would anyone rob the youth of their dreams of a better life?
