I just don't get all the whinging. The denigrating crap from people who have been denigrating him for the past year is not surprising, but they've really got themselves into a twist.
For all intents and purposes he HAS conceded. He couldn't be clearer. He's going to the convention with his delegates, not for the nomination, but to give voice to his supporters. He'll be fundraising for Dems down ticket. He'll be working to defeat Trump (i.e., get Hillary elected).
The course he is taking is the best way to maximize the chances that the people he inspired to get active, stay active into the future. And it's the best way to maximize the number of his supporters who will come out for Clinton, and other Democrats, in Nov.
Both very good things.
