Bernie was booed.
Glad to see you acknowledge it wasn't Nader that handed the election to Bush/Cheney in 2000 but the voter suppression, lack of a recount, Republican/Bush influence in Florida and Supreme Court decision-and just the fact that Gore was an uninspiring/lackluster candidate similar to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Never would I imagine being on the verge of electing the first female President yet having little to no excitement or great expectations-Hillary is the only woman in politics I can think of where this would be the case. It reeks of nepotism and corruption, and it is actually progressive that people are NOT overlooking these issues of corruption/nepotism or treating her any differently because of her gender. Many are not willing to sacrifice so many of their values/principles just to have another "First --- President".
Many females (including my sister) feel there is nothing special/inspiring about electing a woman who is such a political insider, has been running for President for 10 years and whose spouse was already President. I don't think that shows that "any young girl can grow up to be President". It shows that our candidates are selected not elected. I don't know if she was promised the Presidency by Bilderberg in 2008 or what (she stepped down soon after both her and Barack met with Bilderberg in 2008)-but there is nothing exciting about something so predictable and expected.
Many of us are terrified that Hillary as the nominee will pave the way for a Trump Presidency-just don't say we didn't warn you all along that Hillary has no crossover appeal, little youth support, reluctant minority support and no support from Independents-the complete opposite of Bernie.
The fraud, DNC collusion and voter suppression we have seen in 2016 will not be ignored or forgotten by many people-nor should it. Hillary will still probably win, but I just don't understand why some want people to bury their opinions/feelings-the more discussion there is, the better. Things blew up at the DNC because discussion was stifled and people felt ignored.
