WAPO: Bernie Sanders's strange behavior

[onenote]

28. Why wouldn't Ossoff want positive comments from Bernie?

The three counties that are represented in the Sixth District (in part) produced a total of 87,000 votes for Sanders in the Democratic Presidential Primary. It's highly likely that a number of those voters stayed home on Tuesday, just as its certain that a number of Clinton voters stayed home.

We need every voter who voted for Clinton OR Sanders to be urged to get out and vote in every upcoming election.

Here's some sobering numbers:
Ossoff did better in percentage terms than the Democrat who ran in the 2016 Sixth District race. But in absolute terms, Ossoff got 27,000 fewer votes than the Democrat who ran in 2016. That's a 23 percent drop off from the votes cast for a Democrat running in what was considered a hopeless race in 2016. And even more startling -- Ossoff got 40 percent fewer votes in the District than Clinton did.

Yes, there's a huge difference between a presidential election year and an off-year special election. But the point is that if Democrats are going to be "energized" by their desire to stymie Trump, they need to get off their butts and vote. And every leading Democrat -- and that includes Bernie even if he won't call himself a Democrat -- needs to be out there pushing voters to vote for the leading Democratic candidate.
