It's a nice fantasy to think anything will get done with Hillary in office, but she won't. And again, that's where the difference between her and Sanders lies. Sanders admits he can't get it done on his own. It's going to take Americans coming together to demand change, to go out and vote. Maybe that sounds like a fantasy but considering the crowds he draws, the avid support he has, and the changing demographics of this country, Sanders certainly has more momentum in that regards than Hillary.
I'm really not trying to be rude here, but what are Clinton supporters really hoping for? Because again, she's not any more electable than Sanders, she won't get any more done than him, etc. At this point, it just seems like people want to give it to her because they feel she's "due" and because they want a female president. And that's become even more clear within the establishment. There are just very weak arguments against Sanders from the Clinton supporters and that's likely why Sanders' supporters are firing back. We keep being told he can't, we can't, etc and that's what hurts progress in this country.

Even if Bernie could convince Millennials to come out and vote, I don't think that's such a great thing. His plans also really aren't very economically sound. It doesn't sound like the country will be able to support that. At most, Bernie will just increase the nation's debt and be out of the White House in 4 years.
Also, let's not pretend like demographics are the only things that separate the two. Clinton supporters are "hoping for" a person who aligns with their views. She's naturally more moderate and so am I. Sorry, but I'm not going to rush out to vote for a candidate if I don't support their views. Even if they do manage to pull impressive numbers.
Hillary support has little to do with her exterior, at least for me. I don't care if she is a woman; if Bernie were a woman, I would be just as anti.
