it actually seems to apply more towards Sanders' supporters.

I mean just look at the overall vote and delegate counts through out the entire campaign.

Clinton supporters turn out to vote, Sanders supporters on the other hand, turn out at huge rallies but lag in turning out to vote.

Now that's what I call apathy.
