I think it's better if he stays in, because some people will register to vote for him and they may be winnable in the fall. Despite what they are saying about the young vote not turning out last night, it occurred to me that since voter turnout was up so much in general, it may not be that young voters didn't turn out as much as it is that older voters turned out more, and/or that more Republicans (who tend to be older) voted in our primary this year than in 2016 because they didn't have their own competitive primary. Do we know if the number of young voters was down compared to 2016, or just their share of the electorate?

Thu Mar 5, 2020, 09:51 AM

not voting Democratic is why Hillary lost. And the insults of Bernie and his supporters and the perceived Democratic establishment's hatred of Bernie supporters is why they refused to show up at the polls.

Some Democratic Hillary supporters believed Bernie supporters refused to vote for Hillary and instead voted for the Green party, or maybe Trump ,or stayed home because they were angry at the front runner's supporters. The insults were flying and Bernie supporters were really raked over the coals. Many of them left DU and did not return.

Of course a lot of the animosity was exaggerated and emphasized by Trump's and Putin's Russian Trolls. A lot of it was manipulated and planned by Russia.

Posting insults, and we all know how to do it so we don't get removed, or articles that bash Bernie or Bidden just feeds into what Putin wants.
