holy shit hilary was a fucking young republican

In 1964 Bernie Sanders was 23 years old, graduating college, and had developed his own life and ideals as an independent adult.

In 1964 Hilary Clinton was a 17 year old high school student, being influenced by her family and school teachers who were mostly conservative republicans. By the time she was 23 she had been active in the anti-war campaign for years, during law school she worked on civil rights issues, and by the time she graduated Yale Law she had fully changed her political alignment to be a liberal democrat.

Once again, people are pitting an adult male against a teenage girl and denouncing the teenager for not having reached the same level of maturity and life experiences as the grown man. I do think Bernie Sanders is the better choice for president but we should be showing this through their current politics, not by claiming that a 17 year old girl should have had all of her political views fully sorted out before graduating high school. The real life experiences that shape our political views usually happen in our early 20s, it’s not uncommon for someone to change their mind about political issues during this time.
