with whom I can have such conversation, due to my government job, I can only have such discussions with a select group of potential voters... no campaigning allowed. But my colleagues are white 20 and 30-somethings and we have been talking about all this. They are certainly freaked by the don but are Bernie supporters, and truly bummed out by the DNC news. I have been trying to make them feel less adversarial about voting for Hillary. It's all I can do at this point, until my contract is up in October. After I'm set free of the contract, I'm all over the GOTV action. And my state is about to elect the first American Indian (D) to our one House seat too, ousting the TP (both Teathuglican and drumpf supporter-ugh!) ignoramus we have in the position at present.

ETA: This candidate for our one House seat is also a woman!
