There's no way I'm supporting either Trump or Hillary.

My support goes to Jill Stein.

As is your right as an American voter, I just hope you consider the potential consequences.

I think some people are seeing Bernie's speech yesterday in the wrong light. Maybe it was the crowd? He was being very reconciliatory in his speech and mannerisms. He didn't end it but he knows it is over, he praised Obama and Clinton, and knows that unity is going to be important in this final stretch. It was a very different Sanders than we have seen in the past two or three months.

It was the crowd. The crowd was horrible, misguided, misinformed, and downright ignorant.

Is it wrong that I also want a little more diversity on the ticket?

Wait what if Bernie Sanders runs with the Green Party instead of endorse Hillary? How likely is that to happen?

That would just be handing Trump the Presidency. You have to give Bernie a little more credit than that. He's not a fool.

I feel like if you don't vote and allow Trump to win, you are to blame for the repercussions of a Trump Presidency. If he bans all Muslims, you're responsible. If he starts a huge war, you're responsible. If he makes global warming even worse, then you're responsible. If he decreases your wages, it's your fault.

Don't complain about Trump when he's President if you allowed him to win through your voting decision.

I saw this on another site, and I thought it was powerful.

We may have had the right to vote for around a century, but in practice we really don't have the right to be vocal about it. Not unless we fall in line and vote for another man who will "take care of us", like good girls. We're going to win by a silent majority so that next time, we can speak our minds without fear.
That's progressive.

I don't think we will ever have to worry about Sanders being the Ralph Nader of this election. Jill Stein will siphon votes from the Dems but I suspect Gary Johnson to take just as much (if not more) dissatisfied Republican votes.

I do too.
Boo @ Warren.
A black woman maybe? A hispanic male?
Two white women tho? I'll pass.

It's very powerful.

You've all seen the crowds Bernie drew. You know how much the media hyped him. We were all witnesses to this. And yet, ultimately, Hillary received 56% of the popular Democratic vote to his 43%.

Where can I see the actual delegates math? Has Hillary reached the magic number in pledged delegates? Has Bernie earned enough pledged delegates to win if he convinces Hillary's super delegates to support him?
In short I just wanna know if Hillary is the nominee without a single doubt or is there anything Bernie will cling to?
Meanwhile, congrats Hillary!

I like a warren VP.

The whole "two women" thing doesn't matter. Anyone who is afraid of two women is afraid of one.

Lol you can't get much more diverse than having a woman on the ticket.

As soon as Retro sees this he's gonna geek out and help you

I just like Warren because the rest of popular choices feel so blah and safe to me lol.

Guys, Bernie's path to the nomination is still viable! Hillary is ahead by about 430 delegates. DC has 20 delegates. Bernie only needs to win DC with 2200% to win! North Dakota and Montana has given us the MOMENTUM!!1111!

How about instead of focusing on "diversity" we focus on who's most qualified for the job?

If they happen to be a white woman: great! A black male: great as well!

Pretty much any politician is qualified for the job of VP. It's such a dead-end job It's more the symbolism of the role that's important which makes who she chooses important.

I'm confused as to how this should be valued above Warren's noted experience and character.

She's the best person for the job. If another man or woman of color or otherwise was the best for the job then they would be the top contender for it, plain and simple - as the party that elected the first black man and soon the first woman to the Presidency, we know the value of minorities in positions of power.

I think it's difficult to make the argument that Julian Castro or Donna Edwards, as two currently active examples, are better candidates.

If she's gonna pick a white VP then let it be Sanders tbh

There's my useless conservative democrat two cents

Clinton has 2,777 delegates - 2,203 of those are pledged and 574 are super delegates.
Bernie has 1,876 delegates - 1,828 are pledged and 48 are super delegates.

508 of Clinton's super delegates would have to switch for Bernie to go over 2,383.
