Do you have any other analysis to offer that is not just restating the vote total? “Historically progressives don’t vote” tells us nothing about why they would not vote. And progressive is a very vague and ill defined word. Do you think that maybe media coverage or campaign funds might have had influence on the final vote total? Do you think media coverage including pre counted super delegate votes in every state for Hillary hurt turnout for Bernie? Super delegates that were shifted to Bernie once he still won those states. I’m literally just asking you for anything beyond “telling me the final score of the basketball game”. Were players injured? Was the defense being outplayed? Was the offense not aggressive enough? I am literally asking for your opinion mate. And you keep telling me “not enough people voted for him” in different ways. Do you have any thoughts beyond that in your head? You keep saying “progressives didn’t vote”. Why? Saying “historically they don’t vote” tells us nothing either. Why would they historically not vote? Can you maybe think about that?

You’re asking why progressives don’t vote in primaries. Because Americans are largely dumb as fuck and don’t understand our own voting system. Because dumb fucks think a protest has power or sends a message instead of just getting republicans elected. Americans are uninvolved, uneducated, and entitled to the point they expect someone what to fix everything for them and refuse responsibility to be civilly engaged. Like you. You’re blaming “the man” instead of the people that elected him. If Americans had intellectual curiosity at all whatsoever they wouldn’t blindly accept obvious propaganda, but our culture prides itself on anti-intellectualism. Americans elected accurate representatives, and until they start fucking voting in their best interests, maga is a good representation of the average American. Take fucking responsibility for your own fuckin agency and responsibility as citizens. It’s your fuckin job to be engaged and informed, and even in spite of all the disinformation that’s not hard to do, but Americans don’t fucking do it. They they blame everything else like little bitches. Like you’re doing now. Vote in the primaries or you are getting what you voted for, period. Fuck off with that “the voters aren’t responsible” horseshit.
