What percentage of that group, do you think, earnestly lapped up Bernie's brand of socialism one minute, then flipped to right-wing economics the next? Because I'm pretty sure you're overestimating it dramatically.

A large chunk of them do not care about policies at all, they just hate Hillary for beating Bernie. They didn't really care about Bernie's policies either, it was a cult of personality. They're much more about hating the establishment.

Alright, I understand that maybe the first couple of questions would be about her illness and everything related to it, and she should have expected that, to be fair.

After that, it's just the media having a circlejerk about it because they know Trump isn't going to answer hardball questions anymore so they're going to have to pick on Clinton.

And they wonder why she hates them.

They asked a ton of adversarial questions about pneumonia & her relationship with Obama and Kaine, she answered them, got annoyed, and left.

There's no way out. They're going to keep slamming her on trivia and either bitching about her answers or bitching that she didn't give them enough answers, and the relentless negative coverage will erode her numbers further and further. The election's less than two months away. The press isn't going to swing back to how they covered Trump in June/July.

Personally I'm waiting for the first debate. Of course if Donald doesn't poo poo himself on stage or try to throttle her it will be considered a win for him, but :abuela: kept her composure through an 11-hour bullshit hearing. She's an attorney, even if she hasn't practiced for a long time. Going on the (admittedly large) assumption that the moderator learned something about the Lauer debacle and makes Trump actually answer questions presented to him he's going to be very unhappy.

Nah, this weekend changed everything. Trump was always going to win the debates bar literally vomiting on stage or dropping over dead, but Clinton could have at least looked presidential and confident even if the media didn't give her credit for it. Now that they think she's a frail, dying old woman the media is out for blood and will dissect everything from how tightly she held on to the podium to how deep her wrinkles are to how many times she had to clear her throat. If this poo poo doesn't get put to bed quick there's no way the first debate isn't solely devoted to interpreting Clinton's body language and what it means for her health.

I'm not an arzy but the debates and SC nomination are two things I can say with near certainty won't go Clinton's way.

Looping back to the single issue climate change mitigation folks, I think you have to keep in mind that any sort of authoritarian state would not necessarily be motivated in any way by a desire to mitigate climate change. Like at a certain point you have to work with what you've got.

What would have been the strongest action, presumably, would have been to elect Albert Gore president in 2000 but unfortunately we can't do that.

Well I mean technically we did do that but it didn't help.

The problem Sanders always had was 15% of his support came from those types. I would say the majority of Sanders people I know are supporting HRC but yes there is a minority who pretty much justt want to burn the system to the ground and are now Trump. Johnson supporters.

oh yeah for sure, I just think if you could see detailed demographics, it would be like 60% 15-22 and 40% the rest. It's just a gut feeling though. I'm 32 and I use it sparsely

Well, but taking the attitude of, "Well, young people just don't vote anyway, so forget about them; they'll grow up someday!", just because of the voting patterns of that 20-whatever percent of them? Not really a wise strategy. There are still millennial voters that Clinton could be getting, and she's hurting in that demographic. It's time to stop courting disaffected Republican voters. Time to get the base out.

young people particularly have less to lose by dramatic upheaval, aren't yet clued in to the idea of political change as a long grinding process of compromise, and generally lack context or understanding for the last 8-12 years of political background and elections

this would be a hell of a lot less whiny if it were directed at greying boomers rather than the posters on an internet forum who are at least 80% millenials. like you're accusing people who are, on average, 4-6 years older than you are of hating youth

if there's any anti-youth bias in d&d it's because many of us recently left our youths and clearly remember how loving dumb youths are
