Why didn't the Democratic Party do anything at all to inspire voters to show up? Why did they put forth a candidate who didn't repeat, over and over again, what a success Kynect was and vow to fight to maintain it? Why did neither of these make an effort to put out ads fighting the racist misconception of Obamacare that made it necessary to hide it behind a name like Kynect in the first place? I have very few compliments to pay Republicans, but they sure as hell know how to make voters turn out for every election. Why do we accept our party not doing that?
I blame voters only so much for being apathetic. Things in general will suck more under the idiot psychopath we have for governor now, but they already sucked pretty hard under the Democrat who was in office since 2007. The Party doesn't care about the voters it has here. It has basically written us off.
As long as we blame the voters, it gives the party a pass to keep fucking around and losing elections. It's probably going to happen in November, too, with a dreadfully vulnerable candidate most people don't like, who lacks charisma and is attempting to win the primary by using the media, personal connections and Wall Street money to disenfranchise progressives she can't win without in a general election. The message is going to be "At least she's not Trump", and it's going to be a losing message, just as "At least he's not Bevin" led to a landslide for Bevin.
What did I do? I held my nose and voted for the loser conservadem. I'm not doing it this year, when it can't possibly matter.
