ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Calling a fellow DUer a "dedicated little troll" is a rude personal attack.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon May 16, 2016, 03:58 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Saying Sanders lost is a lie, and deserves the callouts.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is. But it's also accurate, YouDig is clearly trolling. Dunno about the "dedicated" part though...
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: seems to me that you threw the bait in the water and the fish rose to bite it, and now you claim it bit too hard. Can't vote to hide it.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Meh

(39,181 posts)that being said, you are certainly welcome to continue advocating for Bernie until he concedes - I would do the same in your place.

(7,805 posts)Bern or Bust is not a whim
And all others outside haven't provided much evidence, to the contrary, of the fact that such a paradigm isnt warranted
Ir of the fact that Hillarians give a rats arse about our pains
hack89
(39,181 posts)and you are right, I could give a fuck about your pains.
laserhaas
(7,805 posts)And..what you still dont grasp
Is the fact Bern or Bust is a commitment
Based on the principle that we are supposed to be a democracy.
Another technicality you "should" give a concern about
hack89
(39,181 posts)something to consider.

Bernie is complaining about entrenched oligarchs like Hillary, who believe they are above the law..no matter what
[br][hr][hr][br]
Bernie or Bust means I'm not voting for a person who takes money from those who benefit from organized crime and have directly harmed me and mine.
Lord forbid he were called to heaven...this day..wed still write his name in..unequivocally
Because we believe in good principles
And we are against bullies

(14,060 posts)There is no indication Bernie will receive the 66% minimum he needs in both KY and OR in order to catch up. That means he will need roughly 70% or more in the next contest in PR on June 5. There's nothing to indicate he will obtain that so he will need over 70% in every state on June 7. He's not going to reach 50% in NJ so even if he hits 70% in the four small states, he will still need 75% in CA - which is an impossibility.
His quest for the nomination is a quixotic one. If he loses both KY and OR (which I don't think will happen but if it does), there will be intensified calls on him to concede. There is no viable path for him today, let alone if he loses both states on Tuesday. It's time for the "or bust" crowd to put up or shut up, as the saying goes.
laserhaas
(7,805 posts)Will get 66 % of the remaining votes
Theres good ebodence shes going to lose California
Which she won against Obama
Either way...despite riggings like Nevada
Were Still Here...and going to Philly..to decide

(14,060 posts)I'm not sure why that simple concept is proving to be so challenging to understand for some people.

(458 posts)service by staying in the race, if for some reason, Hillary has to withdraw her candidacy, lets say she has some fresh scandal blow up, or the FBI charges her in the email case, or whatever reason it may be, Sanders is there as a "reserve", ready to become the nominee.
Anyone who ever followed sports knows it is smart to have players in reserve, in case something happens to the main player.

(458 posts)Sanders outclasses Hillary in every area.

(30,058 posts)If Hillary should withdraw does not mean Sanders doesn't need the required delegates. Also, Sanders could be investigated for his FEC on accepting campaign funding from individuals over $2700.

(1,128 posts)The Democratic Party is going to hand the nomination over to the losing candidate who cannot get the democratic parties traditional bases of PoC and Women to vote for them?
