1. I think we can safely assume most at that rally are young voters

(I know - there are a lot of other-than-young-voters supporting Bernie)

They do not show up at polls. Only 1-5 under 30 voted in 2014 (the last election) and 1 in 4 voted n 2012 (last Presidential election).

Rallies are fun, full of energy. You get to see the candidate in person. You are part of the crowd.

Voting is drudgery.

5. Voting is drudgery?!?

I think you are selling short a diverse and energetic group -- our younglings!

I'll remind you of two things:

1) Senator Sanders has won seven of the last eight contests.

and

2) Hi11ary and many of her campaign staff are in react mode (remember 2008?), wherein she parrots her opponent's choicest policy positions and throws copious amounts of mud, hoping some of it will stick.

In the greater scheme of things, Bernie has already won. Since you are a Hi11ary supporter, your unlikely to understand that.

(Oh, and, btw, I've updated my IL, so any response from you will only titillate your fellow supporters.)

7. great poutrage - you know exactly what I mean

face facts - those under 30 do not show up at the polls - the statistics I posted prove that

but continue to sit behind your keyboard and feel a part of the "revolution"

(could it be you are one who showed up at a rally then conveniently forgot to vote?)

2. Because going to a rally is easy.

Voting frequently requires registering in advance, registering the right way, going out on a day you have to work or go to class...

3. I don't think the primary process is clear to some.

Plus this was more early days, and also Hillary was using early voting to her advantage.

I know the actual purpose of your OP may very well be to poke at or dishearten Bernie's supporters - but, on the other hand, those huge crowds are not going to turn out for Hillary if she gets the nomination. Not at rallies, not at the voting booth.

4. Attendance means interest, not necessarily support.

Massive rallies suggest it's in the bag and people may feel no sense of urgency or necessity to vote. Young voters are historically unreliable.
