is this how our generation fights for change?

I’ll be hon­est – the at­ti­tude of quite a few of my fel­low mil­len­ni­al Sanders sup­port­ers is rather frustrating.

We’re not even close to done with the race and yes­ter­day was jam packed filled with
‘Oh no, Sanders is los­ing and now every­thing is bad
frown emoticon.’

Is this how our gen­er­a­tion fights for change? No won­der we can’t get any­thing done! Sanders needs to be viewed as the front-run­ner. Pe­ri­od. Not as ‘run­ner-up’ or ‘hope­ful.’ No – he will be the win­ner. We need to show strength to gar­ner sup­port from del­e­gates and su­perdel­e­gates whom 60% are bi­ased for Hillary.

My fel­low mil­len­ni­als, I mean this in the nicest way: Stop mop­ing around. Learn how elec­tions work, learn about past elec­tions and stop be­ing emo­tion­al over your own lack of information/baseless spec­u­la­tions. Fight un­til the end (what­ev­er that may be) to keep the mo­men­tum go­ing strong. We can­not af­ford to have Sanders stereo­typed to be the los­er – he’s far from that. So please keep your in­se­cu­ri­ties out of your pol­i­tics be­cause it dam­ages the momentum.

Put it this way – Oba­ma lost Su­per Tues­day. He still won. And that Hillary won the states she was pre­dict­ed to in a much small­er mar­gin with Sanders than she did with Oba­ma in the 2008 pri­ma­ry says a lot.

Wait for the ‘Lib­er­al’ states with much tougher vot­ing reg­u­la­tions (so they can’t pull shit like they did in Iowa and Neva­da). We got this. ‪
