“I’m from Vermont so it’s a very strong allegiance to Bernie but I don’t necessarily think I’m a typical millennial Bernie supporter because I’m not Bernie or Bust,” says Aster O’Leary (pictured above on the right). “I think party unity is really important and I will support Hillary when it becomes necessary.... That’s my personal stance, I respect people who are Bernie or Bust.”
And Katrina Culler, a Hillary Clinton supporter, adds:
“It’s not young Clinton supporters versus old Clinton supporters – it’s just Clinton supporters. I feel like I’m being compared to [Sanders supporters] and I feel like I’m not liberal enough at this convention, even though she’s progressive…I feel like it’s a weird comparison. There is a perception of Hillary that falls onto us as ‘supporting the establishment.’ I think there are problems on both sides and I think a politician can’t be perfect.”
