"I've been a follower of yours for some time now. This past Wednesday, when your boss Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone published his endorsement of Hillary Clinton, I knew that you'd have a response in defense of your own personal candidate of choice, Bernie Sanders. To your credit, you were able to respectfully disagree with your boss' endorsement (the respectful part is key) and lay out the reasons why you feel young people are not fully supporting the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. As a millennial who is supporting Hillary Clinton, I found your reasoning to be so unconvincing, uninformed, and untruthful that I felt compelled to respond to you in an effort to correct the record. As you did in your response piece, I too will do my best to present my argument in an enlightening, yet respectful, tone."

But you can't see that, Matt, because it doesn't fit your worldview. You see Hillary Clinton as being part of a system you see as inherently corrupt. What you fail to see is that she has been fighting against this system for forty-five years. ....
