Expounding on this point, I see zero enthusiasm in many places, very few political signs, very few bumper stickers, and lots of disengagement.
You're right....nearly all the candidates are awful choices. But you surprise me. I thought you'd be gung-ho for Bernie, with his climate change is gonna kill us all delusion.

As to zero enthusiasm, you've gotta be kidding....

November preview? Turnout surging in Republican primaries

The zeros are on the democratic side. Sad, because Bernie is right about the system being rigged and the deck stacked against average Americans. But most of his other positions are suicidally eccentric and destroy the credibility he could be carrying.

The "zero enthusiasm" seems common in my area, I don't see much in the way of interest, and this is a moderate are overall. I think stronger enthusiasm is likely in a good number of locales the closer the election gets, however.
