In Sanders they chose to support a candidate smart enough to fall in line behind Clinton in recognition of pragmatism against the greater evil. If what Rob says is true, it looks like Millennials will follow his lead and support Clinton. If MSNBC chose some crybabies for ratings, we ought to pause before using them to make generalisations.

Their time is different. See Trump. But maybe we should wait until they actually fuck up on this point before calling them some fuck ups because they're emotional about how their future looks in this election.
