Isn't the NH primary turnout something everyone should be applauding?

[Nanjeanne]

It's what Bernie has been talking about.

The news of first time voters in a primary is democracy at work.

As Bernie and Thom Hartmann say "Democracy is not a spectator sport".

1. I believe voter turnout is part of the derided...

...revolution. Seems to be starting for sure.

[Punkingal]

2. I love this...it's awesome!

[DCBob]

3. How do you know they are turning out to vote Dem?

They could be coming to vote for Trump.

[Nanjeanne]

6. I don't care if they are voting Rep or Dem. As a society we should encourage voting.

[DCBob]

9. If they are mostly voting for Trump then we as a society could be in big trouble.

imho.

[Nanjeanne]

10. Well it's still a democracy - last time I looked. If they are coming out for Trump instead of a Dem

then maybe we need to have better Dems running. Personally I think they are coming out for Bernie but . . . in any case . . .

I'm not really interested in voter suppression to make my candidate win.

[DCBob]

11. Who said anything about voter suppression??

Good grief.

[Nanjeanne]

13. Good grief - It was me!!!!!!! I said I'm not interested in voter suppression. I'm interested in

everyone participating! If they choose Trump - so be it. Democrats will have to work harder to get that kind of turnout. It's still democracy.

I don't get the idea that Whoopee - it's great as long as they are voting Democrat. I think it's great that people vote. We have one of the worst turnouts in the world.

Maybe we need to do better.

But perhaps for some people it's only good if the turnout supports . . . "one" candidate.

12. I really don't think Trump could get Congress behind him. nt

[whatthehey]

4. Of course we do not know whether they are going to the Democratic or Republican primary

[Warren Stupidity]

5. Yes, unless they are all voting for Chump, then it's "WTF!".

[Nanjeanne]

7. I don't care if they are turning out for Rep or Dem. It's the idea that people are participating

in democracy.

It should be encouraged.

[VulgarPoet]

8. We don't know if the next forty-eight will catch fire like NH did.

But we can encourage, campaign, hope, and most important of all, keep fighting.

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. I'm clapping my hands.

Just think... if we could get everyone involved and KEEP them involved because they saw their votes were the driving force behind the direction of the Government, the country would only BENEFIT by having its citizens more involved.

[Nanjeanne]

15. Exactly!

[Codeine]

16. I'm a Clinton supporter and I think it's pretty cool.

I love big turnouts. People who don't vote are idiots.

[Nanjeanne]

17. That's how I feel. At least if we vote - we can complain *g*

[retrowire]

18. The voter turnout, yes.

The given victory of our guy Bernie? No.

This is only the beginning and this was a given. We need to stay focused.

[WillyT]

19. EXACTLY !!! - K & R !!!
