Keep telling yourself that when Drumpf picks right-wing shitbags for his administration.

Quote: To close that gap, Sanders would need to win 68 percent of the remaining primary and caucus delegates.
When including superdelegates, or party officials who can back any candidate, Clinton has 2,291 to Sanders' 1,528.
She is now just 92 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to win.

And why are we including people who can change sides at the convention, again? How many does she need if you don't include superdelegates and party officials who can back any candidate?

You be sure to let me know when this tidal wave of support for Sanders arrives.  I want to have my hip-waders on.

You know that the handful that have endorsed Sanders can change too, right?  Or doesn't your fantasy work that way?

Hillary isn't even trying to get Bernie supporters to switch to her. It could happen, if she went to them and made some concessions, but who did she go to instead? Bush donors. That's not a fantasy. That's how she's operating right now.

If "progressives" think there is no difference between Hillary and Drumpf then fuck 'em.  He'll win and you can all sit there while he and his rich-bitch buddies disassemble the Bill of Rights in favor of corporate pricks and whine about "oh, if only Bernie had won."

This is real life we are talking about. 

Look at it from the other side - maybe you will see it easier.  Shitloads of republicunts hate the sight of the Orange Asshole.  Do you think many of them will vote for Hillary?  Their choice is him or staying home.  In the end, most of them will hold their noses and vote for him.

How much have you benefitted from the Obama years?

The country did not go down the shitter where it would surely have gone if McCain and his cronies had won.

I'll settle for that.

I don't have grand hopes anymore.  That's all bullshit in our current reality.

It takes time, but progress does happen. It's just a shame we have to fight so hard for things that should be common sense to have.

We have been over this. The primaries are not over. All he has to do is nose ahead on pledged delegates, which is well within mathematical reach. If/when he does that, the supers will be faced with either nominating him or flushing the election down the toilet.

Personally, quite a lot. My husband had no healthcare, and was able to get treatment for the first time in over a decade. This allowed him to be well enough to complete his Bachelor degree in engineering, so he is now a contributing member of society instead of a using one.

It matters. It matters a whole fucking lot.
