At convention, Democrats struggle with stereotypes 鈥 of other Democrats

While it's useful to see larger trends of political support, such as white millennials for Bernie, on the streets of Philadelphia there is a far more colorful mosaic.

鈥淚 am a Sanders supporter,鈥 says Matt Paine from central Oregon while walking through Philadelphia selling Hillary Clinton buttons. 鈥淚t鈥檚 become very apparent though that Sanders is not going to get the nomination. And to my fellow Sanders supporters, we need to look at what happened in the 2000 election, when enough 鈥楴ader or Bust鈥 people insisted on voting for their third party candidate to swing the election to George W. Bush.

鈥淵ou might be frustrated with Hillary, but the woman has spent 50 years fighting the fight in an ugly, ugly game. And I don鈥檛 think you can get into that game without making some compromises during the way. I would still consider myself a Sanders supporter at heart, but I am going to do everything in my power to help get Hillary elected this year.鈥
