So I got back from a three hour poll worker class. Damn, that's a fat booklet we had to get through.
Anyway, California is expecting a super high turnout this election year. The person in charge even said more than Obama 2008.
Online registration has gone through the roof from 1,600 to 17,000 in just a few months!
Also, Republican primary is closed so no crossovers there, but NPP (people with no party affiliation who tend to only want to vote for people in local elections; there quite a few) can cross into casting a ballot for a Democrat, American Independent or Libertarian.
I don't. I'd actually prefer that you didn't vote for her. It'll make it that much better when she wins. Because that's the key point here: Whether you vote or not, one of the two will STILL be President. And it'll most likely be HRC. The whining is just getting obnoxious at this point.

She won't win without the Sanders vote. We make up a large chunk of the Democratic voters hun.
Hens act like we're a non-factor, but you're wrong. She won't win without the Sanders vote.
Until you find me a legitimate source that shows evidence that 100% of Sanders supporters are all anti-Hillary and will refuse to vote for her over Donald Trump in the fall, then this logic is entirely baseless. Many of Sanders supporters and people that have voted for him prefer him to Hillary, but would vote Hillary in the fall. It is irresponsible and childish to assume that every single Sanders supporter will protest a Clinton nomination in order to try to strike up fear in the DNC and Clinton supporters by trying to hold the presidential seat hostage. Polling shows that the number of Sanders supporters that would be opposed to supporting Clinton in November is 15% LESS than what Clinton supporters in 2008 said wouldn't vote for Barack Obama. In a nutshell, the wing of Sanders supporters that are threatening to not support Clinton is not significant and it will dwindle as we go into through the GE.
You can stomp your feet and post all you like about how you are going to stop her from being president if she doesn't make you happy, but let's say you succeed and we end up with President Trump, would that make you happy? To screw over the country to make a point? I guess you have to sleep with your conscious at night. But, quit making this mathematically-over primary more dramatic by trying to hold the presidency hostage.
Quite frankly, numbers and data do not support your rhetoric.

You do. The Clinton vote just so happens to make up a larger chunk. If you want to use this piss-poor logic, then Sanders could never win without the Clinton vote. See how easy that was? It works both ways, "hun."

Again, for my sisters in the back: I don't care. The number of Sanders votes who won't support her is exacerbated. Most of them will come around. No, I'm talking about the online loud mouths who create a new trending topic every day. I'm talking about the everyday Americans who voted for him. You people like to act like party loyalty is a foreign concept, but to most people, it is not. Most Democrats will be voting for Hillary. The "Sanders vote" consists of more than anti-establishment millenials who were more likely than not pro-Hillary before this election season came around. You want to be coddled and sorry: I'm not the one to do it. Sanders supporters act like Hillary supporters should walk on egg-shells around them to "win them over". Well again - I'm not the one to do it. You'll either have President Trump or President Clinton (the more likely option) next year. Either way, you'll be pissed and you'll deal. You can not vote, you can write in Bernie, you can support Jill Stein. Doesn't change the reality. Cry about it, hun.

The effortless drag with actual receipts. I'm LIVING for this post.

At the same time, it would certainly be foolish to insist, in this year of political surprises, that Trump can’t win. He could—especially if, as Thomas Edsall suggested in a carefully reasoned May 11 column, more white voters are keen to pull the lever for Trump than will admit it to pollsters. Trump’s unlikely but conceivable route to victory lies in only one direction: in the same low turnouts that powered his standing as the presumptive Republican nominee. In other words, by turning the general election into a primary. Trump wins only through psychological voter suppression: a protracted campaign of such ugliness, directed at a Democratic nominee already widely disliked and mistrusted, that vast numbers of voters in key electoral college states become even more alienated from politics than they are now and stay home in November, as they did in March and April. Trump’s road to the White House is therefore through what Jesse Jackson, describing how low Democratic and African-American turnout helped elect Nixon and Reagan, used to call “the margin of our despair.”
Interesting article about Trump winning the White House if he can make voter turnout lower than usual with a nasty campaign. I still believe it'll be Madam President if things carry on the way they are now, but what if Trump does actually pull swing states to his side somehow? It's an ugly thought.
Then again:

She has virtually all minorities as well as women on lock this November, I don't think keeping some at home will drastically change the outcome of this election.

Fortunately for the democratic party only the selfish extremists wont vote for Hillary or worse, vote for Trump. I'm cringing at the fact that you are trying to prevent a democrat from winning just so a psychotic egomaniacal buffoon who has no idea what he is doing can enter white house. The irony.
"I love Demi Lovato, nearly everything, I think she's an amazing talent"
I'm starting to get my hopes up for Demi singing the national anthem on inauguration day (which also happens to be my birthday) - it would be a dream come true.

I screamed
But I think she was playing it right, just in case she said "everything" and someone went like "OH BUT SONG X FROM ALBUM Y HAS OFFENSIVE CONTENT HOW DARE SHE, SHE'S SO CORPORATE" - I mean even with the harmless Katy/Demi/Clooney praise in that video and people in the comments were still like "how dare she praise people who endorsed her, so inauthentic!!!!11!! corporate liar!!!!"
go bernie!
