Turnout of voters

People are abandoning the chance to vote for a Democrat in the primaries. Many more are voting for republicans.

This does not look good for us. I blame it on the establishment of the Democratic party. Who else could it be blamed on?

It is the establishment. The heads of the party. They hate Bernie and the only way they can defeat him is by reducing turnout. Problem is they are hurting all democrats in their hate for Bernie.

But you love Bernie, right?

Yes, the SC vote should be ignored.

They ignored democracy.

87% refused to vote! I have never seem such a pitiful turnout.

All it does is bring shame on the party.

Why do you keep bringing it up? Are you happy they ignored democracy?
