Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumDNC wakeup call
In my experience, those who identify as Democrats will support the Dem nominee, clothespins or not. Alienated voters attracted to Sanders probably won't, but I don't really see how they got 91%, unless they are strictly looking only at alienated voters.

The younger generation, the millenials who are professed to be the so-called majority of Bernie Sanders supporter base have inherited the debts and mistakes of lawmakers who have only represented such a small portion of the American population that theres nothing left for them to identify with or relate to.
Roughly 23% of the whole, these millenials have no false sense of entitlement the good old days of social and economic equality are completely unknown to them. Is it any wonder why their ideals are pushed off and seen as lofty, pie in the sky, and dismissed as near impossible?
Establishment politics and government have stamped a bar code on the foreheads of the middle class and the poor. The DNC has treated us more like a consumer base than the supporters of a candidate
And dont get me started on the mainstream media. Sanders has been branded a socialist, far left, fringe candidate. Meanwhile, the narrative is Trump is scary, please vote for Hillary regardless. Only were not buying it.
If we owe the millenials anything within this entire campaign, its most certainly their proclivity to obtaining credible information from the areas theyve been most accustomed. (The internet, YouTube, social media, etc.)
As a result, like a tidal wave, the vast majority of Sanders supporters quit buying into the propaganda machine, that in previous elections was the mechanism you all have used to garner support for your preferred candidates.
