Meanwhile the DuNCe platform committee has turned down all the Sanders suggested planks, choosing instead to be milk-toast establishment appeasers. I'm sure this will rouse the voting public to turn out in large numbers ...
My information sources indicate millennials voted for Sanders at an unprecedented 80+% rate regardless of race, class, or political affiliation. I have personally heard several times from members of that cohort that both parties are essentially their enemies. Obviously neither major party will likely survive this cohort in 20 years without major changes for the better.
I don't care if I live to see it but I hope everyone else who still thinks politics is entirely encapsulated in a single bit (on = Democrat, off = Republican) live to be outvoted by those who prefer the greater good over the lesser evil.
I have said this before but it is worth repeating. The whole edifice of government as a tool to redistribute wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich, those days are numbered. Millennials are far too sophisticated to fall for the rigged game. We are not dealing with Trump's base, who falsely accuse the other, be it immigrants, Muslims, Hispanics, Blacks, American Indians, the poor, etc. for their economic distress in order to distract them from the real culprits, which include the very low-life grifter they support (smells like Brexit supporters).
Unlike them, Millennials know exactly who is responsible for their misery - Trump, Ryan, any Bush, the despicable Walker, the despicable O'Connell, stupid Palin, her enabler McCain, rapacious Romney, brain surgeon Carson (physician, heal thyself), virtually all Republicans and Republicans masquerading as Democrats like Schultz and Clinton.
Clearly the DNC is now in that list as well.
Change or die.
Millennials in general simply don't cater to and refuse to abide racism, misogyny, homophobia, wars of choice, environmental destruction, and economic inequality. The revolution is inevitable, suppression will only make it worse (don't believe me? ask the French or the Russians). Despite the fear of a Trump Presidency, many will not vote for evil, lesser or greater.
The old paradigm will soon be dead, get over it one bit RAM computers.
