In reply to the discussion: New head of Our Revolution Nina Turner on Unity with DEMS!! [View all]Glad you are there
Fortunately we do meet people who supported Hillary Clinton here. We often meet people from the mainland who are Dems, too, and often from "red" states which is surprising, but then Hawaii is a blue state and most people know that.
Bernie was quite a craze around here, though, and particularly with business people who identify as somewhat hip. There is quite a university crowd here, too, but lots of locals bought into the idea that Hillary is owned by Wall Street and is a war monger. It is hard to take since she has worked her guts out her whole adult life to help people, and not just here in America.
This whole notion of a revolution against the "other" top percentile (so many are successful themselves) scares me because it ignores so much unaddressed privilege and social barriers that keep people from their dreams and reasonable security with their families and futures.
It is important to stay positive and to never give up or in. Aloha again, Cha!
