As someone who volunteered for multiple campaigns this cycle, I saw this clearly. But I also see most people that I have met on my travels just seem to be checked out, even if they vote. I think this is the bigger problem. The previous cycles have already just turned people off from thinking they can do massive change. Even with a record number of volunteers and supporters with a campaign like Bernie, it still wasn't enough numbers.

I often wonder how painful things will have to get to enact some change with the checked out masses. What will happen if we reach that point?

More riots, looting, autonomous zones, and probably hostile us army deployments stateside.
