They're wrong and right at the same time.
Lol it is beyond ridiculous. Especially when you have Hilary supporters posting things like Yassss queen after every win. Even though it is a foregone conclusion she's going to win the nomination. But Bernie supporters being happy? God forbid we should have that shit in these threads.

The supers have yet to override the pledged delegate count, and if they ever do they better have a damn good reason for it.

Hilary was/is not my candidate of choice. I voted for Bernie and I think it's time for him to bow out.
Why is it that people assume if you feel this way you must be a Hilary supporter? It's no longer "just about the message". It's trying to paint Hilary as a crook and corrupt. I don't think that is healthy at all. I think it goes against what he promised when he first started this campaign. It's what I admired and now he's thrown that away. Because I don't see him as a god I'm able to actual be critical of him.
If he had stayed on his message then I would have said continue onward, but it's not the case anymore. He's poisoning voters who Hilary has to bring over. With what we're up against on the right, we need all the help we can get.

How are super delegates "anti-voter"? They are currently siding with the candidate that has both the popular vote and delegate plurality.

Lol at the comments. Nice to see the rest of the world see how he is just wasting time now.

Bernie thinks he is The Rock, refering to himself in 3rd person
Okay "man". Please learn how US politics work before you start lecturing me about this kind of thing. Bernie has already got out his message and going to the convention won't change the effectiveness of it. He's staying in for purely selfish reasons and he's fooling people like you. Politics can be a dirty business.

Factually incorrect and that's fairly evident at face-value.
The fact that "BERNIE SANDERS IS A SOCIALIST AND SUPPORTS SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE" isn't a CNN headline is your argument? No fucking shit policy positions aren't breaking-news in April during a primary. What a shit argument.
Guy spends millions campaigning in states. You think no one notices that? You think that doesn't affect anything? You think it doesn't sway the opinions of current and future voters? Give me a break.
Yeah, man. I appreciate your baseless take on Bernie's motivations.
Oh shit.
Anyone hiring Cornell West for black out reach in 2016 doesn't give one fuck about black out reach.

but prodigal, it's may now. this clearly invalidates your entire point and you are banished to the shadow realm
It's funny: I remember a common one-liner pro-Hillary argument used to be "Vote for her so that we don't get Trump or some other GOP crazy in the White House." And posters would respond that that wasn't compelling, because you have to give people a message of hope, give them something positive they can rally behind, catch more flies with honey, etc. etc.
It's sad that Sanders' movement has turned into the anti-Clinton movement. It's sad that his great message has given way to endless fanatical mudslinging with no positive end goal or concern for reality. It's really is.
And a tie in DC? I have better odds of being struck by lightning twice then for Bernie to be within even 10 points in DC. He'll probably lose it by 30 or more.
He realistically needs a 60 point in in Cali to tie with Hillary.
I really wish people had a fucking clue about why Super Delegates actually exist.
Before Supers it was pretty common to have a contested convention, at which time the party power brokers would decide who they wanted in closed rooms and force that person on the party.
Super Delegates have ALWAYS sided with the leader coming out of the primary in near unison. While it makes an outright pre-convention win on pledge delegates alone very difficult it also ensures that the decision is ultimately made based upon the results of the primary process.
It is the exact opposite of anti-voter. It is the last firewall that ensures the will of the voters is recognized without political deal making at the convention to steal the nomination.
Clinton won MD by 30 points. She will not do worse than that in D.C.

Yep.
Hard to call superdelegates an inherently un-Democratic aspect of the primary process when they have ALWAYS gone for the candidate that wins the pledged count.
If the pledged totals were flipped at this point, I'd bet everything I own that Bernie Sanders would have more superdelegates than Hillary Clinton.
You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning twice and then winning the DC primary yourself, than Bernie does of winning.

Welp, so much for "I'l do everything I can to help Democrats defeat Donald Trump." Didn't realize that statement was conditional--Sanders has the perfect chance to put his money where his mouth is, and chose stubbornness and childishness ahead of the values and principles he claims to stand for since he knows continuing won't net him the nomination at this point anyway and thus, if stopping Trump is really as critical to him as he says it is, now would be the perfect chance to show that, but yet... Guess they never meant much to him after all. Sad.

That D.C. tie.......LOLNot true, he only needs to win California 65-35 as long as he hits all these remaining targets.

Hmm I see they are doing the exact opposite of what they should do. Take that establishment. And Trump as Clinton is now forced to defend against the GOP nominee and someone who has no perceptible chance of becoming the nominee (and before we argue turning super delegates based off the will of the people, well, Hilary has higher popular votes than Sanders and even Trump).
Not true, he only needs to win California 65-35 as long as he hits all these remaining targets.
Anybody who actually believes this is going to happen has to either be drunk as all shit or voting for the first time and completely oblivious to how any of this works.
Guy says from the beginning he'll run his campaign until the convention.
Continues that path.
Suddenly he's a child with no principles.
IT IS MAY AND HE ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HIS MESSAGE BY GOING TO THE CONVENTION BEING IN SECOND PLACE AKA BEING A LOSER
How hard is it to understand? It's futile for Bernie or Hillary for there to be convention drama while the GOP falls in line for Trump.
That's a thing he's been doing all year. I think it's meant to distance himself from the admittedly scary cult of personality that has developed.
Did you forget about her being investigated by the FBI? If it was anyone else they would be in jail already.

The thing is people *have* been saying that and you get hit with the "I don't have to pick the lesser of two evils" line.
People shouldn't have to coddle and baby people into voting. If they feel she would be better suited to continue of the path of progression better than Trump, they should vote for her. If they don't feel that way, then don't.
I resent that I have to beg people to help keep these maniacs out of office. As someone who supported Sanders, I feel like it's a no brainer.
Oh hyperbole. A Gaf staple.

Thanks Bill O'Reilly. You going to tell us how she is being investigated by hundreds more FBI agents than the 9/11 investigation as well?
Posting a relevant graphic in the thread isn't drive by posting. But attempting to police other's posting is backseat moderation. Given the amount of Yas Qweening and gloating done on the regular, the idea that there's something wrong with someone else celebrating a win is bizarre. If you can't handle people celebrating a win for their candidate, regardless of the larger context, maybe it's time to take a break.

The problem with posting that is, he still lost. He needed a bigger win to be on the path to getting the nomination. So posting that is just inciting other posters.
Every contest from here on out where he does not meet his needed projections is a loss, it's that simple.

Yea, Colin Powell and Condy Rice both got lengthy jail sentences.
People expected either a contested convention or for Trump to only get the nomination after California. Now that Cruz is out, Trump is now ALREADY the nominee. Things changed!
He has always been an ideologue more concerned with his message and his platform than actually doing something positive for this country. There was a narrow window when the two coincided and instead of building on that he got drunk on the chance he might get the nom, turning negative in the process but achieving even less after doing so.
If it was anyone else she wouldn't be under investigation in the first place.
Also, let's not forget her role in Bill's administration, where her actions alone forced a sitting president to commit adultery.
If it was anyone else, no one would still be talking about it.
