Poor people dont vote, Sanders says on NBCs Meet the Press Sunday. I mean, thats just a fact.
Thats a sad reality of American society, Sanders tells Chuck Todd, the shows host. And thats what we have to transform. We have one, as you know, one of the lowest voter turnouts of any major country on Earth.
Im sure the fact that the Democrat contest is between an aged, future felon, with all the personal warmth and charm of a viper, and an addled, old Socialist has nothing to do with the low turnout.
Nope. Its all those poor people that arent buying into the Utopian promise of free stuff thats holding him back. They are, after all, the group he seems to be attempting to appeal to.

No Democrat can complain that poor people don’t vote; if that was the case they’d be polling like Whigs. The problem is they aren’t voting in the Dem primary, because they know they get their free sh!t from November elections (regardless of which Dem is the candidate).
Poor people have been voting themselves part of our income for decades.
What Bernie isn’t saying is the poor don’t turn out for the primaries unless one of the candidates pays them to turn out and transports them to the polls In the fall election they will be rounded up by the community activists, handed a $20.00 bill and taken by bus to the polling station where the only effort required of them will be to show voter ID in some states, be instructed as to how to operate the voting machine, and then be left alone in a voting booth to fill out a ballot. At the same time orderlies at nursing homes will be “helping” the elderly fill out absentee ballots or taking them to the polls and “assisting” them in the polling booth.
Statistics show the poor show up in droves during the presidential elections. One of the major reasons Obama reneged on his promise to accept federal funding in 2008, if McCain would do the same, is the federal funds were insufficient to pay for the Democrat voter roundup and payoff in urban areas and swing states.
Turnout among the poor and minorities is lower during the off cycle when only Congress is elected. Few Democrat Congressmen and Senators can afford to fund the roundup, or need to do so since they are in safe seats.
While demographic trends favor the Democrats, the Democrats still cannot win national elections without the paid community organizer roundup and the union get out the vote effort. Expect Hillary to raise and spend a billion dollars to bus the urban poor to the polls and hundreds of millions more in PAC money to fund negative television advertising to anger minority voters.
Bernie could have enjoyed the support of the poor voters in the primaries. All he had to do was pay for them to come to the polls.
