/r/politics and /r/SandersForPresident is beyond salty that Bernie Sanders has lost the Nevada Primary

Yeah Obama pretty quickly squandered his enthusiasm by not following through with the energy he brought to power, to be fair to him it's not really his fault, the economic conditions had to take precedence.

Translation: "The youth became disenfranchised because the President they elected based on hope and change got stonewalled hard by Congress and the change they wanted didn't come as fast as they wanted, exactly like they wanted it."

Imagine all the voter apathy that would occur when Sanders couldn't make good on any of his promises, and he's promising way more than Obama did.

If/When Clinton win the Primary millennials will not tun out for her presidential OR midterm elections making both incredibly unlikely to turn out well.

They don't already; have you seen the current state caucus votes and polls? Youth voters are still drastically low, despite outnumbering old voters. At this point, millenial voter apathy can hardly make the situation worse.

Eh I'll vote though I can't vote for Clinton, I'll vote Green I guess, but you can't blame people for not voting when you give them nothing they want to vote for and the Democrats desperately need those votes.

I can blame them for not voting in the elections that matter and using the results of elections that matter far less as an excuse to screw themselves over. Makes them seem ignorant to how Government works and only voting based on trendy people once every 4 years.

I'm done with my college years, I paid off my debts, I've got two great jobs and good health insurance; I'm not going to "pay the price" if Millenials stay home on Election day, you lot will. You're holding yourselves hostage; that's a shit negotiating tactic. Regardless of whether Clinton or Bernie wins, it's in your interest to vote; that's your only leverage in Government. Your vote is your voice, and the silence is deafening.
