(10,360 posts)50. I support a number of Bernie's ideas, especially Medicare for All, but he needs to concede now.
But he is mathematically out of the race unless he is able to win 65-70% of the remaining delegates. And even then he would need the votes of some superdelegates, the very establishment people he has been bashing. Its too bad the Democratic Convention had to be moved to August because that just gives some of Bernies more rabid, scorched-earth supporters more time to create negative ads about Biden, which we all know Trump will use.
