    Shouldn’t be turning people away that are apologetic, but don’t think the path to victory lies there. All the people that are sitting out elections are the ones that should be targeted. So few of eligible voters are actually doing so.

      I keep talking to people who didn’t vote and they keep saying it’s because neither candidate represents their interests.

      Maybe we should be ‘targeting’ the establishment simps that keep nominating establishment candidates?

      Trump only won because Bernie lost, for example. How come we don’t blame the people who nominated hillary clinton?

        Oh it think everybody, except the twenty people that told her she was going to be president, do in fact blame those 20 people.

        But I think most of the democratic voters are going to choose the lesser of two evils (would be beautiful to vote for someone), so getting a candidate that gets more non-voters to show up is way better than getting people to change their politics. I would guess that would mean more progressive policies anyway, as those tend to have a greater impact on most people’s lives.
