And I fully expect the voters who come out in the general election to bytch about their choice of representatives after having sat their asses home during the primary
So you projected all that from one day despite the opposite trend all year?

Scott Walker to immediately call special elections that he refused to hold for legislative seats in two red districts that are identical to a GOP-held seat that Democrats flipped earlier this year.

The Democratic Party is fine as I tried to point out in that thread I sent earlier. The only issues are the donor class versus the actual voters. The Democratic Party is starting to trend toward the voters. Now it's about turnout.

Is that not the regular trend? Skip the primaries. bytch about the choices during the mid terms and presidential elections.

I don't think I need to pull out that stats to prove that.
There isn't a large sample size. Millennials are not generation X which was super apathetic and was raised by bum ass selfish boomers exclusively. For one, most millennials made about 30k and are working or in school and are much less likely to make it to go vote without having early voting. Democrats have failed in that outreach post 2008. Second, millennials showed in 2008, got angry and disheartened by 2010. Showed up in 2012 largely just because Obama was black and then didn't show up in 2014 at a historic number when Dems were lame ducks. So basically you have 2 midterms and 2 presidential years. During neither off year did Dems give millennials a reason to vote. Millennials don't bytch about options during midterms, they don't participate period. The internet does not equal offline. You guys are.conflsting activists who do vote with their peers who think you're all full of shyt. Sanders won millennials by Appealing to their sense of skin in the game. Most democratic arguments towards millennials are about symbolic moves, not economic ones. Millennials are the only age group told to vote strictly on moral grounds.
