I'm watching a live stream of Bernie supporters being interviewed in the aftermath of Hillary being announced the winner of some of the primaries today, and some dude legit took off his sweatshirt to show that he got a "Bernie or Bust" tattoo on his arm.

I'm dead.

That's because we aren't 18-25

we don't get excited about anything other than alone time in the bathroom


No, it's because she isn't running on big ideas and doesn't have an inspiring vision for America.

Remind me of the last great president we had that ran on "getting the job done."

Lincoln, Jefferson, Wilson, FDR, and even Reagan had grand visions for America. Even Obama is inspring in this regard.

But Clinton represents the status quo and is the quintessential politican. There is nothing about her to get excited about other than her beating Trump, so that's why you see such little passion for her.

This isn't to say she couldn't end up being a decent president, but I'm just explaining why people aren't excited or passionate about her.

That's just flat out incorrect. You suffer from serious confirmation bias, that's all.

Can you elaborate? What is incorrect?

Why has their been such a passion defecit between her and Bernie/Trump supporters?

I'm not arguing that passion is a good metric or predictor of a good future president. But the dispariry in excitement for her campaign is quite blatant.

Why is that? I have my ideas, what are yours? Unless, you disagree, of course, and think HRC supporters have actually generated more excitement for America than either Sanders or Trump.

Uh, have you seen her rallies? There's a SHIT TON of excitement. It's not the same demographics of the typical Bernie supporter, but that doesn't mean that people aren't excited. Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc. are VERY excited to have HRC be the nominee. That's why she is winning and Bernie isn't.

Blacks, hispanics and women are people that Grand Marshall Trump will exterminate, their support for the worst candidate of all-time will seal their fate.

People are excited at rallies. They are there to get excited.

Also, more people have voted for HRC but Bernie has drawn bigger crowds so rallies are probably a poor example to use.

And I think Trump has actually drawn the most 'excitement' of any candidate, for better or worse.
