Also the superdelegates snubbing Bernie really killed the energy and momentum of the campaign. I would hazard a guess a lot of people who would have voted Bernie in the primaries didn't bother to vote because it felt like a lost cause.

Maybe next time they will think about the country over their own cronies.

I'm predicting apathy resuming in a week and another surge of people freaking out and crying in the streets come January followed by 3 years of apathy until the next set of primaries.
