re: #482 KGxvi

There’s also the question of how many marginal voters he turns off. Remember in a “two person race” there are actually three options: Republican, Democrat, not voting. I think a Sanders-Trump general election would probably end up being a super low turn out election. And I’m not entirely sure who that would help, in part because of the electoral college.

That’s a large part of the arrogance on display in the Bernie camp, the idea that votes like mine are a given and it’s their votes that will make or break the party in November. It wasn’t the cities that Hillary lost in 2016, it was the rural areas where someone like Bernie would scare voters away.
