Millennials still not that excited by prospect of first woman president

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Washington Examiner:

Hillary Clinton and the Associated Press have declared that Hillary Clinton is the Democratic president nominee. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders hasn't given up, but it would take several miracles for him to become the nominee at this point.

 

So why aren't millennial women excited by the prospect of seeing the first female president in our lifetime? Precisely because the woman who might take that honor is Hillary Clinton.

 

"Maybe my cohort is caught up in the moment of Donald Trump: Millennial liberals may think it's more vital to ward off an age of authoritarianism than to usher in a new era for feminism," wrote Molly Roberts at the Washington Post. "Certainly, we've been distracted by Bernie Sanders: For idealistic young voters, a rabble-rousing revolutionary feels more alluring than a political pragmatist, even one with two X chromosomes."

 

Roberts also argues that just being a woman isn't enough anymore for college-aged millennials obsessed with the idea of "intersectionality." The short explanation of what this word means is that Clinton may be a woman, but she's also white, straight and rich — all turn-offs to today's social-justice crowd. (And never mind that Sanders is a white, straight, rich man, he's fighting for revolution).

Some of us geezers aren't real thrilled either.
