I was at a caucus gathering yesterday with about 300 people. There were all ages and from all walks of life. They were glad participants. Why would you disparage them? "people with a lot of time on their hands and political activists." You use the term "political activists" in the pejorative. We are the ones that hold the County meetings and Leg. Dist meetings. We validate ballots and drive people to caucuses and polls. We call for GOTV. We are the backbone of the Party. Not sure what your agenda is but it doesn't seem Democratic.
