Did you vote today LOL? Primary day belongs to the tumbleweeds, who will once again vote for the same old corporate cactus to lead us into the sunset. Last year just 700,000 New York City voters decided to participate in democracy on primary day. And out of all voters registered Democrat or Republican, only 20% bothered to vote in the primary. Here's a sobering look at how apathetic the electorate has become, as seen from polling places in NYC today:
Incredibly slow #nyprimary day here in #UWS. I was only voter 26 in my district! Does anyone else care? @NYGovCuomo @ZephyrTeachout

I was solo voter outnumbered by poling volunteers about 30 to 1 this a.m. Hoping more turned up. Be #patriotic #vote #NYPrimary #TeachoutWu
