Yeah you said that. But then you went ahead and argued anyway that there was no way to tell how closed primaries would've went if they were instead open (there is though).

The point being that Nate Cohn made that tweet because Sanders supporters argued that the election is rigged and if all primaries were open he would be getting more votes. But because they are closed they are shutting out his voters. And according to the data that's not true.

Your (very valid) point wasn't the main topic of discussion.

Okay, fine. Everything else about his campaign reeks of desperation.

We're aware that the race is over. We're just annoyed that a certain individual consistently makes the situation messier in spite of this.

People are becoming increasingly frustrated that it's looking more and more like he'll end up costing Hillary a significant amount of votes. He can't win - like, literally mathematically can't if he loses Cali, and definitely won't either way - and still refuses to budge. If he doesn't concede at least conceptually after June 7th and endorse her, he risks dividing the party even further, and that risks the general election. Until he shows signs of aligning with the party whose nomination he is seeking, people have every right to be angry about his attitude.

If y'all think this party can be healed after that Nevada mess then y'all have another thing coming. It's too late, Bernie did his damage and he doesn't care

I don't need to be coddled so I'm able to watch things with oppossing viewpoints. I watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, TYT, and a variety of other things. I'm not obsessed with them, I actually liked them very much before this election. However, when I see someone saying something stupid regarding the election, it's likely that I'll come to the election thread to post about it

Are you sure about that? As far as I know TYT has never broke one story. Plenty of publications covered Hillary's paid trolls, and if you read as much as you claim you would know this? liberal media does not revolve around TYT.

Anyway, that link says a Clinton supporter saw disgusting things on a Bernie page and reported it. Where's the receipts that it was a Clinton supporter posting the horrible things? Come with receipts, not conspiracies.

The link says the trolls posted ****ography on the page so they could get it shut down.

Liberal Trump cancelled

I was ****ing ecstatic when I saw the list. It guarantees that any liberal who goes for Trump in November either has no clue what they're talking about, has an irrational hate for Hillary, or shouldn't call themselves a liberal.

The only way to salvage things is if Hillary picks Bernie as VP. But that's looking increasingly unlikely as Bernie gets more hot and bothered.

Wouldn't having a uniform voting system with the same rules and requirements across the country be more susceptible to "rigging"?

What does a conceptual endorsement look like? Because conceptually they are very different candidates so why does he have any owness in endorsing her. That's not his responsibility, it's her responsibility to appeal to Bernie supporters and I guess he's trying to push her in the right direction to do so.
Y'all are sounding pretty entitled and bratty rn

This is bad to me though . Now conservatives, who otherwise would've voted for Hillary in cute numbers and/or stayed home can now feel okay voting for him. He's slowly consolidating his base and that's not okay

You act as if BernieOrBust will vote for Hillary regardless of what she does? She could be the next Bernie in all of her policies and they'd still vote against her lol

Plus are independents really independent? They clearly side with one party (democrat/republican) and vote along party lines most of the time.

Yas hoe let me eduCATE

So Trump would probably be something like Fire/Rock. He's akin to the balrog from the Tolkien legendarium - an ancient, nefarious power that isn't quite the biggest bad out there (Sauron, Morgoth, etc.) but he's still pretty bad. Kind of like a mini-Groudon, I suppose? It makes sense given his hard-headedness, his resilience in polling and votes, and his fiery, unrestrained rhetoric.

Bernie would be Grass/Normal - he'd be kind of like a Sawsbuck but more wrinkly and unkempt. He's the liberal, environmental, economical candidate that appeals to the "common man" who is left out and disenfranchised by insider politics. That's the major vibe he gives off and I think these types suit him perfectly.

Hillary is the mystical Fairy/Dragon combo we've only so far seen in that assed-up cotton puffball cloud thing they claim is a Mega Altaria (I'm still in denial about what they did to her). Light, energetic when needed, witty, feminine - but when necessary, fiercely passionate and an incomparably adept politician. Don't mess with Hill.

I said conceptually in regards to the word "concede" so I'm going to ignore half your post.

Anyway, no, it's not her responsibility to win anyone over, talk about sounding "entitled and bratty." Its their duty as an allegedly-concerned citizen to make a well-informed decision. Vote Hillary, or don't and basically give the election to Trump - those are the choices now. It's one or the other. Bernie needs to make that clear to his base, sorry.

Because consolidating some more conservatives - he will NEVER get all of them - will do nothing for him. It's been well demonstrated that conservatives have a losing electoral map in the general election; liberals have the advantage. All Hillary needs as long as he fails to cut into the Democratic base, and he is indeed failing, is the traditional Democratic block of states plus one other decently big state (Florida would do it). Consolidating conservative support isn't enough, not when on the other side Hillary already has all but at most 13% of Sanders supporters.
