If we can't be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?

What (presidential) primaries? I haven't had a presidential primary with more than one option since Obama 1, and I was slightly too young to vote. So maybe actually have fucking primaries?

EDIT: yes I vote in all the other primaries I can.

Did you not vote for Bernie against Hillary?

I did. He won my state. And the news completely ignored that.

Since the primaries are held at different times in different states, lots of people don't have an option by the time the presidential primary gets to their state since it's essentially over and all the other candidates have dropped out.

Oh shit, I forgot about that because I was abroad when I voted. Okay, my mistake, they've given me one single primary in my adult life.
