I am by no means telling Bernie supporters that they need to stop having faith or anything like that, but what I am going to tell you is what is going to unfold as the month progresses and hopefully everyone understands.
Bernie's latest hot streak was PREDICTED, in fact both pollsters and Hillary supporters knew that it was coming. Bernie has a strong group of young supporters, dedicated to attending rallies, caucusing & vice versa. He is also a very Liberal candidate and not only have these last few states held caucuses, but many of the states have high liberal populations and younger people who are willing to get out and caucus. Hillary supporters are proven to be older (not to use this as an excuse) but its true. What 70 year old is going to go stand and caucus for hours? Not a lot... We know why Bernie did so well in these caucus states and this was expected. Of course the media blew it up, but they had to... Hillary can't always be winning as much as all of her supporters like to think.
Guess what, if CNN doesn't have a tight Democratic race, where are the ratings going to come from (w/ the exception being the Rep. party circus)?? The media knows what the outcome is going to be, political experts know what the outcome of this race is going to be and so do mathematicians. It was known in 2008 and it is known now in 2016....
New York may be tight, but Hillary will likely come on top.... Bernie will argue "we were so close, it was an even race".... whatever. The race will continue into the 26th of April and Hillary will do very will in Maryland, Deleware and Pennsylvania (all potential sweeps) and they will likely keep it close in Connecticut and Rhode Island. After the 26th, this will be done. The media can say what it wants, Bernie supporters can argue "we still have California" and keep dreams alive, but the 26th will be the end. I am not saying this to be mean, offensive or to try and hurt anyone's feelings--but to be honest and blunt this month will mark the end of the race (mathematically).
Bernie and Hillary will split delegates in California and he may even win (like Hillary did in 2008), but Hillary will have likely amassed a lead of 300+ delegates and this will only chip so much into that. She will have more than 4 million votes that Bernie and will become the nominee at the convention,
Although none of this is official, feel free to bookmark me, call me out, scream at me or whatever... But this is what I believe is going to happen. It's time for us to start coming together, because whether you like it or not--Hillary is going to be the party's nominee.
Just like I would support Bernie if he were in Hillary's position, I'd hope that Bernie supporters will do the same for Hillary.
That is all."

I agree. I don't like this whole Bernie vs. Hillary thing, and how people are making her out to be on Trump's level. All of this propaganda is taking away from the real message, which is that any of these two are better than any of the Republican nominees.

Well nothing is "required" but things ARE important and it doesn't surprise me that you don't see how important that is 
Again, if you'd like to view from such a narrow and "economic" (as if global agriculture, women's advancement and security aren't DIRECTLY linked to economics) perspective, we allocate BILLIONS of dollars to fight things like this all over the world and I'd like for my President to have sort of idea of what to do with it.

There are a lot of paths, actually. I don't have any in front of me at the moment but just know he can still win

It will change absolutely nothing. He would need to win 75-25... Not happening. Especially when she won it back and 08 and given how popular she is there. It'll probably be 50/50

Bernie has been compared to Trump on the basis that they're both outsiders who have risen due to anger at the "establishment".
People compare Hillary to Trump on the idea that they're equally bad, racist, evil etc.
Calm down.

So you're saying her talking about gay marriage in 2011 was a lie?

What has Bernie said that's anti black/latino? Defend your case.

This is another thing. Even without super delegates, Hillary would still win.. (she is way ahead without them).
And many will argue that they are important, as they would essentially prevent someone like trump from being able to be the party's nominee.

Okay, this is really condescending.  "Liwwle Bernie supporters, I'm gonna tell you how much you're going to be beaten by in the next few weeks because you clearly haven't understood it yourselves..."
We're not stupid, we're very much aware of what the current numbers look like, but as long as the final ballot hasn't been cast and there are still caucases to be held, there's still a shot, and choosing to keep the faith and crunch numbers does not mean that we have the brain capacity of a 2 year old; we do understand that Hillary will be the nominee come the convention unless something major happens.
I don't see why anyone would scream at you or call you out for stating something incredibly obvious that a majority of us already understand.

She gave an extremely important and monumental speech on LGBT rights worldwide in 2011, that's probably what that member was referring too.
