In a recent audio of a leaked fundraising talk, Hillary Clinton said some things that have infuriated Sen. Bernie Sanders’ supporters: Clinton described some of Sanders’ supporters as being “new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement. They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves.”

The line “they are living in their parents’ basement” is a pretty troublesome thing to say, certainly. However, in most arguments that use this leaked information against Clinton, this line is the only one mentioned, completely taken out of context and used to criticize Clinton without fully thinking about what she’s saying. Let’s take a look at the rest of her statement.

According to the New York exit polls taken by the New York Times during the caucuses, 65 percent of those caucusing ages 18-29 did so for Sanders, while in all of the age categories over 30, Clinton drew the most support. There are many ways this could be read, one of them being that older voters were less familiar with Sanders and so more likely to show their support for Clinton. However, another way to look at this is that a good portion of Sanders’ more loyal supporters probably were, in fact, new to politics completely. For all of those 18-21, at least, this is their first election.

As for her claim that Sanders’ supporters are children of the Great Recession, well, this also isn’t false. I’m 21, and was 11 when the Great Recession hit. And I think this feeds directly into the idea of Sanders’ supporters feeling like the jobs available to them are not at all what they had in mind. That’s just a fact, and it certainly doesn’t just apply to Sanders’ supporters. I think it’s safe to say that holds true for many people leaving college in the past decade or so, or anyone trying to figure out the job market.

Sanders has even publicly said that what Clinton stated in the leaked audio is “absolutely correct.” And I understand that there could be a lot of anger in response to this. Anger at Clinton claiming Sanders’ supporters are living in their parents’ basements, and anger at Sanders for supporting this statement, which I suppose you could say is, in a way, an example of Sanders criticizing his own supporters.
