Forums - Politics Discussion - Hillary Clinton gives her take on Sanders supporters

- alledged hackers of a campaign staffer exposed an audio recording of a Hillary Clinton fundraising where Hilary Clinton called Bernie Sanders supporters as "children of the Great Recession" who are "living in their parents’ basement" 

- she is heard saying to the then rising supporters of Bernie Sanders the following:

"Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement,"

"They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future." 

"If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and doesn’t have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing."  "I think we all should be really understanding of that,"

- Clinton on preferring to occupy the space "from the center-left to the center-right" she said:

"There is a strain of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican candidates,"

"And on the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel."

Who said Trump is the only politician who's willing to tell the truth? She just earned a little respect from me.

Not surprised she would think this, or say it away from the cameras and mics. Both candidates are just fucking awful.



- "If you have the heart of a true winner, you can always get more pissed off than some other asshole."

What she said isn't far off from the truth. This actually gives me hope. She isn't just some bland corporate entity like many people believe.

She just insulted 12 million people.



I'm not sure why this should be offensive... In the context of the conversation it doesn't seem to be meant in a demeaning way.

Some people do live in their parents basements, you know.  The rest of what she's saying seems more understanding than insulting, so in the context, I don't see the issue.



What she said is fairly on point.



She doesnt have a clue



So she hasn't actually called anyone a basement dweller but rather accurately described how probably a sizeable portion of americans feel and why they are potential voters now?

Talk about misleading thread title.
