How about this thought with Sanders' rallies...

[LiberalFighter]

When supporters and others attend his rallies it is time lost that could be used to go and vote. Instead, they go home, work, school, or whatever and don't find time to vote. The time they use to go to the rally, spend time at the rally and then on to their next destination is lost. They fail to slot time to do the most important part of a campaign.

I should also add that Sanders' campaign team apparently don't have enough experience in this matter.

1. Or, it could be that they never planned on voting but they find going to crowd events to be fun.

If the arena event wasn't there they'd have no involvement at all.

2. Funny, I just posted this in GDP in response to a poster there...

Mid-term blues!! Been trying to get the Dems to pay attention to how important it is to get voters

educated and interested in voting in mid-terms and other state and local elections. Governorships are the most important. And it boggles my mind why the Obama coalition and all the former civil rights leaders haven't been running voter education and registration drives since 2012. It's not just POC that are at risk of being disenfranchised as we are learning in this primary season. Rest assured that the GOP has been quietly doing this for the past 6 years. I am really surprised that the Hillary camp has not been speaking about this from the stump and Bernie seems to be focused on getting large crowds to idolize him instead of getting them herded into forums to learn about registering and voting. It is almost too late for this GE. This should have been done right after the voting rights legislation was smacked down by the GOP and SCOTUS.

3. I dislike the guy

but if he'd had a local rally before the Acela primaries, I would've gone.

One, a free night of entertainment. Two, it's historic to watch a guy lose to a woman, and three, it's always best to see what all the fuss is about yourself, if you can.

I would never have voted for him, I was a lock for Hillary since very early on.

5. How hard is it to google the states primary rules??!

Sanders campaign is so incompetent...wasted $200 million and can't figure out how to google...and then blame everyone else....
