I've learned to not love Bernie, and really not love a lot of his vocal followers. However, I'm terrified by the Bernie vs. Brexit paradigm:
In both cases, the majority went the other way (edit, ok well the % was different in the population).
In both cases, the split was very age based - young wanted Bernie (ironic) and stay. The old wanted Clinton and leave.
In both cases, the lower % won because of the old, a huge % voted, while with the young, they voted in far smaller percentages.
In democracies the minority rules, and the majority is to blame.
