I think the reason for Democrats low turnout

[jmowreader]

12. I KNOW the reason for our low turnout is twofold

First, primary elections only draw serious political aficionados. The casual voter very rarely goes to a primary or caucus.

And second, we have two candidates on the ballot who will probably, once in office, govern about the same way. Congress isn't going to raise a bunch of taxes. They aren't going to dismantle Obamacare and replace it with a single-payer health plan that costs more than the entire current federal budget, or expand the government enough to manage that kind of program. They aren't going to sign off on a Free Tuition for All program. And they're not going to kill half the small businesses in America by doubling the minimum wage. The reason they won't do any of the things Bernie wants in the way Bernie wants them done, is the voters would shitcan them at the next election if they even thought about giving Bernie what he wants. Remember kids, a congresscritter's first concern is his or her seat. The Hillary plan can be enacted without causing a wholesale replacement of the entire Congress and immediate repeal of the whole schmear. So...our choice is have the Hillary plan enacted by a friendly grandmother, or the Hillary plan enacted by a perpetually-pissed-off old man.
