Sanders: I'm sorry that Hillary CLinton is rerunning 2016.

208. The poor child sounds like a propaganda victim.

Where did she get the idea that the last Democratic candidate was "an evil"? And the charge that our 2016 GE candidate was a "phony" comes directly out of the Sean Hannity playbook. How interesting that this time around, it's once again a strong Democratic woman candidate who is saddled with an ill-perceived "authenticity problem".

It's amazing that the "the Democrat is the lesser of two evils / don't vote if you're not inspired / this smart Democratic female policy expert is not authentic" 2016 general election Russian talking points took such strong root in this teen when she was only 13 years old.

Someone needs to explain to this young woman that elections have have real consequences that will affect her for the long life that she has ahead. Voting responsibly isn't an optional exercise in response to apocryphal "inspiration". It is a civic duty that she owes to her fellow citizens, future generations, and, most of all, to herself.

Her future depends on it.

Mahalo.
