The phrase itself is derogatory, somewhat condescending, and does a poor job at explaining why voters who love Bernie Sanders are not interested in any other mainstream candidates from either of the two parties.
Last night, Bernie Sanders won Rhode Island — his 18th victory so far. Interestingly, of the four contests yesterday, in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, only the last was an open primary state which allowed independents and even former Republicans to cross over and support a Democratic candidate. Consequently Sanders won.
He performs well in open primaries and caucuses because party affiliation isn't required in either. This is also why Bernie Sanders lost every single age group in Maryland last night except for voters under 30. Nearly 70% of them chose Sanders — no, not because they think he will "give them free stuff," but because they trust him and have little to no trust or history with the Democratic Party itself.
KING: CLINTON PAYING TROLLS TO ATTACK PEOPLE ONLINE
I'm 36, but I'm in that boat as well. I simply don't trust the Democratic Party. My values don't really line up their values.
While I've grown to be a huge Bernie Sanders fan, I didn't just vote for Sanders because I think he's cool, I voted for him because the Democratic Party is terribly and worth no trust . What has grown to really matter to me, does not truly matter to Hillary Clinton or the Democratic Party establishment.
Simply put, I just can't imagine ever voting against my conscience.
I'm against the death penalty.
I'm against SuperPACs and the unfair influence of billionaires on elections.
