he couldn't turn out his voters for Democrats in sufficient numbers to make a difference.

It's wonderful that Sanders got you to the polls. I'd caution you, however, about making hasty generalizations based on single instances.

I always vote, whether the election is for president or library board member. I don't understand people who need to be led to the polls or inspired to vote. Nor do I understand those who weaponize their votes in ways that work against the greater good. For all the party's imperfections, my default position has always been and still remains Democratic.
