I'm kind of bummed that they announced this now, doing it before the CA primary where Bernie will likely get Berned just makes it look more rigged to people who think it's already rigged.

i dont really give a shit about how Bernie feels, or people who don't know how to count, but i'd rather it have been actual votes that put her over and not AP counting super delegates.
 
It's fucking stupid how late you vote in primary season.

That said you probably have the most important local elections so, that counts right?

Texas local elections determine nationwide textbook standards. :(

I'm not sure how we'd measure "comparative importance of local elections".
 
Probably stay in the race until at least Wednesday. Maybe the weekend.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he drops out tonight or tomorrow.

Bernie's not dropping out. He's stated repeatedly that he will be taking things all the way to the convention.
and perhaps beyond

No reason for him to drop out until the FBI concludes their investigation anyways.
 
I mean really couldn't AP have done this same thing months ago? If all it took was an informal poll of superdelegates, I'm pretty sure Clinton would have surpassed the magic number after the southern states voted.
 
Congrats to Hilldawg. Now can HilGAF stop being so fucking condescending and patronizing toward their Bernie counterparts?

Maybe he'll try to slink away on Friday during the news dead zone. Can't really bury dropping out, but they could try!
 
My sister and her boyfriend got Bernie Sanders tattoos.

I tried to convince them that it is really stupid of them to get for a guy who won't cause a revolution, won't be president and who will be dead and forgotten within two decades.

They told me that the revolution led by President Bern will happen
 
Excited people, please control your celebrations to not debase yourself. We already had a good enough cause for celebration in FFXII: HD Remake being announced, so I hope you guys already used some of that energy for celebration earlier.

We are about to receive an influx of people changing their avatars to Hillary.

Say what now?! Off to gaming

Holy shit no. They didn't. No please you have to get photos
 
Get that old man to the asylum now before he hurts anyone

Yo Bernie, suck it!

but mah political revolution

can we stop this nonsense? this is a sport, it's to elect our next leader, so what if Bernie made Hillary squirm a bit? they both need to be vetted to hell and back! we should be glad that someone like Bernie Sanders ran, it hopefully means it galvanizes people into paying close attention to their local races.
 
What's stopping Cali from holding their primaries earlier in the year?

The real issue is that the state doesn't want to move state and local primaries, and it's really expensive to hold a separate presidential primary. We could theoretically move as far back as March, but won't because ??? then candidates might seriously campaign here and pretend to care about Californian issues?

So really I should direct my ire at the state government. As usual.

Yeah well, candidates say lots of things about how far their campaigns are going to go only for them to drop out anyway when they don't get the votes they hope for and their path to victory is totally eliminated. I don't think Bernie will be any different.
 
AP has counted a bunch of superdelegates that nobody else has counted. Not clear to me what their criteria for superdelegate commitment are.

"An Associated Press count of pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses and a survey of party insiders known as superdelegates shows Clinton with the overall support of the required 2,383 delegates."

they called them and asked "will you be supporting Hillary Clinton". Yes = a vote. No doesn't. Everyone knew she had enough but was holding them back until after tomorrow, AP just really REALLY wanted to write the story first
 
CNN refusing to report this because it takes the wind right out of their SUPER TUESDAY COUNTDOWN CLOCK.

Sad news for America :/

Yes, how sad that for the first time in this nation's existence we have a woman being nominated to be a major party's Presidential nominee.
 
Oh, wow. I wasn't expecting this until tomorrow. This is a complete surprise. So I guess a bunch of superdelgates got sick of all the fucking around and decided to end it.

You love Governor Moonbeam god damn you.
 
Does anyone in their right mind think superdelegates, pretty much by nature long time democrats involved in the party, will vote for the person who just now joined the party and who has thrown them insults over the person who has grinded it out with the party for decades?
