Given the context of the rest of the conversation? Absolutely.

To say aprox 12 million Bernie spporters are living in thier parents basement is not a compliment-  It is just a face value statement- 

Her context was condescending at best-    I don t care one way or another what she said-  but I don t see any need to deny it either-  

 

You're right, it's not a compliment. It's a sad reality.

Clinton was summarizing why millennials are enraged, and rather accurately I might add. And while I'm sure Bandorr is correct regarding your intentions, I still felt that this was an important thing to point out. Within the context of her statement, there is absolutely nothing insulting here. Only the truth of th situation most of Sanders' largest constituency find themselves in.

Supporting bernie had nothing to do, at least for me, with any kind of revolution. The choice was between a racist, a murderer, and bernie.

Im assumed the 'murderer' is Hilary. If still dont get this tag, when has she ever killed anyone? (Please dont say Libya).

Probably just salty about Bernie losing.



I don't really see the controversy, she reasoned that the economy is what has caused the situation where youths still live at home and look for radical candidates to support, and isn't that factually correct? I did find her comments regarding Scandinavia a little condecending :).

I mean, when has Hitler ever killed 6 million people? (Please don't say WWII)
