In United States primary elections since 2000, the average turnout rate is 27% of registered voters. And we have to overcome a lot to even get that.

The idea of holding some late Democratic “mini-primary” that’s going to bring out some sort of massive consensus candidate is untethered to reality.

@TonyStark We'll never have a "consensus candidate". That's not the goal.

The goal is simply to have a candidate who is physically capable of exciting the middle of the country and getting them to vote.
