He will stay on the ballot and collect delegates to influence the party platform. And while Bernie said that he will work with Biden, he did not endorse Biden.

It should not be tolerated. We need burly bouncers sitting on each side of the Burnie delegates so that decorum and protocol are followed or they should be summarily ejected.

I dismissed it as conspiracy theories because I didn't think Senator Sanders would be as ghoulish as some of his followers, but now I think he really is hoping Biden goes the way of Boris Johnson and gives him a clear field.

Let him be small. That achieves the opposite of what he wants and it's time to stop giving him airtime. Time to move on.

How can he not understand the consequences? ZERO leadership from Sanders. REAL leadership always places the well-being of others before self.

His vote share will crater, though. And virtual convention will offer scant opportunity for the disruption he seems still to crave.


"You will not rise to the occasion. You will default to your level of training."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
