2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI voted for Sanders. But I can do math.
Sanders would need about 2/3 of the remaining vote in California to win it.
Even if he did he'd still be behind in delegates.
He obviously won't win DC with its demographics.
Even if he somehow won 100% of the vote in DC he'd still be behind in delegates.
Sanders ran a great campaign. As our President noted in his endorsement video he brought a lot of important issues to the table and will have a say on the platform. For that he deserves praise and I hope he continues to raise these issues in the Senate.
But we have a nominee now and it's time to get behind her.

(68,868 posts)who's going to invest serious time in a movement whose sole purpose is to render its members irrelevant and voiceless?
it'll wind up being the same blowhards who've been voting third party since 1992.

(37,428 posts)There's a convention and a platform still to come, and with Sanders set to show up with a small ocean of delegates, what's coming is less of a dictatorship and something more like--gasp!--a political party's agenda.
Let's make it the best it can be.
