9. So where were people when Rush Holt or Donald Berwick were running? Most didn't bother showing up at

all. The problem with the idea that people aren't voting because there aren't progressive candidates is that people also aren't voting when there are progressive candidates. Not only do they not get votes, but I've seen people who say they want more progressive candidates act like the ones who run don't exist or that voting for them doesn't matter (I've seen that sentiment numerous times). Progressive turnout is a major problem. As is getting people to at least spend an hour looking at the positions of various candidates and voting for said positions, instead of voting on the feeling the candidate gives them (or often just picking a random name).
