But I think they do understand. Young people have repudiated the campaign of Hillary Clinton in overwhelming and historic fashion, with Bernie Sanders winning under-30 voters by consistently absurd margins, as high as 80 to 85 percent in many states. He has done less well with young African-American voters, but even there he's seen some gains as time has gone on. And the energy coming from the pre-middle-aged has little to do with an inability to appreciate political reality.

Instead, the millions of young voters that are rejecting Hillary's campaign this year are making a carefully reasoned, even reluctant calculation about the limits of the insider politics both she and her husband have represented.

For young voters, the foundational issues of our age have been the Iraq invasion, the financial crisis, free trade, mass incarceration, domestic surveillance, police brutality, debt and income inequality, among others.

And to one degree or another, the modern Democratic Party, often including Hillary Clinton personally, has been on the wrong side of virtually all of these issues.

Hillary not only voted for the Iraq War, but offered a succession of ridiculous excuses for her vote. Remember, this was one of the easiest calls ever. A child could see that the Bush administration's fairy tales about WMDs and Iraqi drones spraying poison over the capital (where were they going to launch from, Martha's Vineyard?) were just that, fairy tales.

Yet Hillary voted for the invasion for the same reason many other mainstream Democrats did: They didn't want to be tagged as McGovernite peaceniks. The new Democratic Party refused to be seen as being too antiwar, even at the cost of supporting a wrong one.

It's tough for Hillary because she thrived in an era before the internet where she relied on the establishment media to have her back and the short term memories of the public to just over look her BS.

Now whenever she says something within seconds someone compiles a video of her contradicting herself or saying something completely contrary.

This was doing the rounds last week.



Young people see stuff like that and understand she's full of shit.

You got it boys. Even if Bernie doesn't win the nomination, you can see where this is headed.

Hillary's campaign just insulted Brooklyn.

Said that Bernie will campaign like a 'Brooklynite' and she'll campaign like a senator.

Why insult an entire borough?

Completely clueless and out of touch.

I think she means he'll walk around in tight pants, fluorescent shirt and sunglasses (at 10PM) and campaign in line at hipster coffee shops with a $9 frappe.
