Don't forget, large groups of Millennials did "take to the streets" in open protest of the way things were handled... only to be mocked by the very party and voters who claimed to be on our side. People tend to look at 2016 through a very narrow view rather than a series of missteps by Democrat politicians and moderate voters over 8 years. And 8 years later moderates continue to insist that as the majority of the Democrat party they can pick a pro-corporate, strike blocking, genocide supporting trash candidate in the primaries but have zero responsibility for what happens in the general. I'm so sick of leftists and progressives being told they're minor wings but somehow are 100% responsible for what happens in the general elections. Both can't be true.
