Millenials- Vote Left, Not Protest

I've been reading lately some press erroneously trying to make a story out of millenials not supporting Secretary Clinton and the possibility of that costing her and the Democratic party the presidency.
While I acknowledge that some of the so-called Bernie supporters are obvious wishful cult followers and were never in support of the ideas Bernie brought to the table but were just fans of Bernie himself, I would like to think they are bright enough to realize their "protest" vote will do nothing for the person they vote for but will only help Trump.
Hillary faces a unique problem. If she moves to the right to try to court some moderates, the far left, especially those young Bernie cultists, will eviscerate her and likely cost her the support of some moderate Dems. It's become almost impossible for her to court those middle of the road folks without standing to lose as many of her supposed base.
Trump, on the other hand, can say directly in front of his deplorable base anything he wants and not lose their support. Partly this exists because half of them don't understand what he's saying, and the other part just doesn't care. They've been so persuaded by Trump and his ilk at Fox that Secretary Clinton is bad, which is absolutely false, that they'd vote for bin Laden or Satan before they'd vote for any Democrat.  Why? Because they continue to believe the absolutely unbelievable: that Democrats are going to take their guns (been saying that since 1980, still got their guns) or that Dems are gonna force them to have gay sex (a good deal of them are already having it, it's just that their wives and families don't know) or going to take away their ability to have a white privilege.
The Supreme Court alone is reason to keep people who appeal to the lowest among us in intelligence from getting ahold of the office of President.
I wish the idealism of youth would meet and marry the practicality of maturity, much faster than it does in us all.
Millenials- we don't get in real life everything we want and we certainly don't get it all now! The quicker you understand this and use that idealism to make small steps of progress, the quicker we'll take the entire government liberal and beat back the notion of white, Christian conservative nationalism forever.
