Hillary Clinton represents the future while Bernie Sanders is a relic of the past [View all]

Last edited Tue Apr 26, 2016, 05:03 PM - Edit history (1)

For far too long, white men have been in charge of this country. It's time for a new generation to stand up and take our country into the future. Hillary Clinton is building a coalition of African Americans, Latinos, Asians, LGBT and women that will take the reigns of our country.

There is a reason why white men are supporting Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton. They are scared of the future. A future that is multicolored and multifaceted. A future where minorities will have a voice to lead our country into the future.

Hillary Clinton represents the future of our Democratic Party and country. Bernie Sanders represents the last gasps of white men's struggle to hold onto power.

Edit- A lot of angry responses in my thread. You guys are proving my point. Lashing out against a changing world...

Edit 2- I sincerely apologize. I forgot to include LGBT within Hillary Clinton's coalition. I have included it in the original post.
