鈥淲ell, I鈥檓 not a woman,鈥� says Matthew Messina, in response to how Hillary Clinton supporters are often characterized. 鈥淎nd I鈥檓 13. I鈥檓 young.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 the child of immigrants, I鈥檓 a first-generation American,鈥� adds Matthew鈥檚 mother and fellow Hillary Clinton supporter, Amalia Duarte. 鈥淎nd I totally love the fact that Bernie got all these young people out. So I鈥檓 appreciative that he brought the democratic process back.鈥� My parents came here from Dominican Republic looking for freedom, so I appreciate any candidate that gets people out to vote.鈥�
Matthew nods, adding:
鈥淲e totally respect what Bernie Sanders has done. You can鈥檛 deny that he brought a lot of people out and created a huge movement. But you also can鈥檛 deny that our process is a democratic process and the way it works is that he didn鈥檛 win, and they need to kind of come to terms with that and come together as a party, unify.鈥�
