 What all these numbers mean is that people are actually enthusiastic about voting, and looking at the count, they are hyped a lot more about Bernie from these early numbers than Hillary. Yes, she is getting absentee ballots but if you look at these photos, it’s the younger generation, the MUCH MALIGNED AS THEY WON’T SHOW UP MILLENIALS that are here. So, when you tell younger voters that they don’t matter because they’re apathetic, maybe it’s not them that’s lacking, it’s the people running.  Same thing happened with Obama, younger voters turned out for him, then he tacked centrist and they saw it. 

Bernie’s message has always been different, he is the one telling people that they CAN TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK, AND WE ARE TRYING! So, instead of telling people to shut up and sit in the corner after March 15th, how about encouraging them to take part in the process and see it out to the very end. 

If you want them to show up for midterms, telling them they are meaningless in a week doesn’t help.
