But then I can't shake the feeling that after struggling to get anything done overnight in a hostile political environment, the very same bored and fidgety, easily-distracted, easily-manipulable potential voters wouldn't have shown up to support Bernie in the 2018 midterms.

"Consistency and perseverance are key, you need to vote in every election, from school board and city council on up, if just one day a year, maybe two", but then they groan in annoyed boredom, doomscrolling their cellphones with one eye, not even paying attention to you (or Bernie) anymore.
