Bernie Is Not The Answer - Sorry

[KPN]

50. I agree with your outlook. I have three kids in late 20s to early 30s.

I've encouraged them over the years to engage in our governance through voting at leat. None of the 3 have ever voted despite my best efforts to impress on them that elections have consequences. --- We'll you know what? All three of my kids are amped by Bernie right now. My daughter, the youngest of the three even talked me into driving 200 miles to meet her and attend a Bernie rally. I was flabbergasted and, at the same time, thrilled by that.

Here's my point. All three of my kids and all of their friends that I have met have said that THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY if she is the nominee.

I ask them why? Without exception they all say that everyone but Bernie is part of a rigged system. They say they have no faith in the elections process in America. What do they mean? I've asked that and theirds answer is that NATIONAL ELECTIONS ILLUSION THAT WE HAVE A ROLE.

You know what? We (both parties frankly) are proving them right in 2016.

If she wins the nomination, she may ultimately win the White House, but the Democratic Party will have lost these young people possibly for decades or forever.

I know all the Hillary supporters think this is all just a boatload of fear-mongering, sky-is-falling bullshit. But from what I see, it's real.

And it's not just young people. Bernie attracts people from all age groups, genders and races. Many of them, as I increasingly do, will have strong reservations about voting for Hillary if it comes to that.

I guess I would just ask Hillary supporters and those who haven't yet weighed in during their State's primary to have an open mind and think about this. I could go on and on but I'll leave it here by just saying I sincerely hope they do. Young Americans and Bernie supporters are not all just whacky and unrealistic.
