Related: About this forumHillary’s Campaign Is Inventing Their Own Reality
The Democratic Party needs to wake up and start paying attention to data. When we look at the parts of the electorate that support the policies and candidacy of Bernie Sanders, its clear that the younger generation supports him far more than they support Hillary Clinton. But the party is choosing to ignore this reality, which could cost them big time in the future. Ring of Fires Farron Cousins discusses this with Les Leopold, author of the book Runaway Inequality.

(11,417 posts)2. So what are young people hoping for with Bernie?
Things he can't deliver.
In a way it will be good for him when he loses because if he had to make good on his promices he would be labeled a sell out. This way he can still wear his halo as the crusader against the big bad establishment.

Keep hearing this "can't" thing from the Hillary crew.
There is nothing Sanders has pledged that can't be delivered, provided the people have the political will to see it delivered.
And the Clinton crew wonders why they've become the campaign of "can't".
Sander is offering hope and a new direction, which is what most American, not just the young, want.
Clearly, Clinton can't and won't deliver it.
