Some advice for Sanders supporters

[Dragonfli]

46. I am worried about the same thing, I live in NYS, the only real vote to cast is primary but

we are so late on the list it is all over by the time I get to vote in the primary (for the most part). This sucks as my vote in the general is never very important because the state is so blue, but the primary is where the party is shaped - I just wish I had a voice in that decision like the few lucky states do.

I heard somewhere NYS may be moved up earlier this cycle, I hope it is, I have already convinced a half dozen people to register as Democrats to vote for Sanders, these are people that don't like either party much because they feel they only work for rich people, they seldom even vote save for mayor and councilmen that they actually get to meet and they vote Democrat locally usually (if they do as they tell me) but largely because there are clearer differences in the local races and some of the local pols actually give a shit about people that make less than 100 k a year unlike nationally where anyone below that is pretty much invisible (National politicians seem to think that only the wealthy suburban people are middle class and they are mostly only willing to talk about "middle class", the rest of us can go pound sand I guess)

Sanders is different and it is easy to convince working people that he will fight for them, if the primary counts here I could easily deliver my neighborhood to Sanders.
