Sen. Bernie Sanders says this one issue keeps progressive policies from advancing

42. I think it's the failure of so many to vote.

If all those who use Obamacare had voted in the last election, Trump would not be President. If all those who use Medicaid or get Social Security or use Medicare had voted, Trump would not be President.

I have seen this in my family. The Repubs are regular voters. But not the ones who benefit from Dem Party policies and programs. They are apolitical, don't like to talk politics, and as far as I know, the deceased one didn't vote, and the current one who just lost her job and needs Obamacare or Medicaid doesn't vote.

I don't know why they don't vote. I guess they just don't have an interest in it. They are involved in their own little world. Nothing more.

And then there is me. My brother is independent, but he doesn't vote. He doesn't want to be called for jury duty (he's retired, so he has the time). I'm going to work on him for the mid-terms, though, since I think he might vote Democratic....although he leans Repub for some things, a lot of thngs, but detests Trump. If he had voted in 2016, I don't know who he would have voted for, because he hated Clinton, too. But less than he hated Trump.
