Because historically progressives don’t vote and didn’t vote in the primary, so the democratic primary voters that do vote in primaries picked the democratic party nominee.

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?
