“I am not the typical Millennial obviously, I am a retired schoolteacher,” says Shelley Hoffman, a Bernie Sanders supporter from Missouri. “I’ve been a Democrat all my life and I’ve been active in the Democratic party, I’m a member of the Missouri State Democratic committee.
“So some of the Bernie people would consider me part of ‘the establishment,’ which I am not. I got involved in the party to try and help make it a little more progressive, years ago. So yeah, I am one of those same Democrats that the Hillary people are, it’s just that I saw an opportunity to have a candidate that fit more with my progressive beliefs.”
