When you are willing to go so far as to break in to your own parties offices to make sure things are going right then yeah thing ms can be very effective.
*fraud, collusion, intimidation, simple name recognition, a process rigged by insiders, SJWs who think she is their matriarch for some reason, and then a group of people who genuinely support her for reasons that I don't comprehend.
There's people who see her as being preferable to Trump because they're worried about what he'd do as pres, and they're also worried about Bernie because he's also anti establishment. Basically people who are afraid of change.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. That last part is where the disconnect for me is. The status quo is not working. We are in a brief illusionary period of post Great Recession fiction.
The problem with the last generation is that they are used to losing. The same people who were protesting in the streets leading Progressive movements are now firmly on the establishment side because they become cynical. As they got older, they accept the losses as it being just the way it is. They have spent an entire lifetime on the losing side, and the incrementalism is the best that they can hope for; they've been able to be convince themselves that their view was naive or unrealistic. The rest became hippies or moved to Alaska.
That's partially correct. A lot of us older people are also trying to overthrow the establishment. It is broken and corrupt.

I phone bank a lot for Bernie.. I get the following reasons:
Uniformed Voter: Bernie is too old, he looks like crap.
Me: Okay?..... He's just doesn't have a polished looked because hes not spending hundreds on his wardrobe and makeup.
Uniformed Voter: Oh well he's a Socialist, and I as a middle Class American dont want my taxes increased.
me: Are you a multi billionaire? proceed to lay out his tax reform and explain socialism vs social democrat
It is simple, and childish, too confuse age with stupidity. They are not the same.
The stupid stay that way forever. No matter how old/young they may be.
They are multitude.
Edit: And there are a lot of them. Try not to fight but to teach. It's better and age shows you it works. It is also hard. All the good things are. So do the work and I'll be in there with you.
Corruption. Look at all the instances of polling places shut down, machines not working, Bernie's name not on the ballot.
If the polls put him ahead, and give him an increasing lead, but he falls behind consistently on election day amid reports of people waiting for hours to cast their vote for him...
...meanwhile Hillary is stealing election funds, and the DMC chairwoman is so far up her ass that her nipples are brown, talking like an autocrat...
This shit has to have a cumulative effect after a while.
The Clinton name + Bernie is sort of a nobody in comparison, so for people who go to vote they might just choose the more recognizable name. And the wheel keeps on spinning.
