re: #488 Targetpractice

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.

I’ll be honest, I walked into the booth in 2016 not knowing what I was going to do with my vote. I thought about leaving it blank, I thought about voting for Johnson, and ultimately resigned myself to voting for Clinton. (Relax, I live in California, my vote wasn’t about to change anything). I’m pretty sure if it was Sanders-Trump, I’d leave it blank, or maybe vote for whatever crazy the Libertarians nominate. I’d also probably be looking at becoming an ex-pat at that point too, so… yeah.
