Bruh, there's 3 million voters who couldn't vote in NY alone simply because they aren't registered Republican or Democrat. Now, obviously all those people, had they voted, would not have voted for Sanders. That said, NY isn't the only place where this happens and it should be noted.

Right. That's the problem. Things for YOU ain't that bad so the status quo seems fine. Despite all of the good Barack has done, the economic standing of the vast majority of Americans has gotten WORSE over his presidency (I'm not blaming him for that, per se, BTW). Hillary isn't going to do as much as Barack did while in office, soooooooo...how will it get better for those folks? Also, like dude below said, she's gonna shift right, not left.
