And to dismiss Sanders' supporters as white, hippy liberals when what, 90% of millennials(?), supported Bernie, is a nice way to make democrats lose even more supporters.

I actually said something similar just yesterday. But no not everyone thinks $15 minimum wage is acceptable. Not everyone believes in governmental health care or free tuition. Not everyone believes in banning fracking. As far as TPP trade, last poll I checked said something like 50% on support/opposition. Actually most of the country, especially governmental officials, are pro-Israel - no questions asked.
So for the people who voted this weekend on the platform storming out and calling Democrats' "sell outs and Republicans in disguise" over a carbon tax is amateur and selfish because we have given that side so much, possibly alienating a lot of moderates. They should be grateful and get on board.
