We get it, Kendra, Holly is a happier, more successful, and more liked person than you are, and you will never forgive her for that.

“People who are talking about just not voting”

Are trying to *directly manipulate the results*. The only aim for such constant contrarian/negation talk is to demoralize people. That’s not idealism, it’s called playing the saboteur. It aims to suppress voting, openly champions suppressing the vote..

(Hmmmm, what party…

ie: if they can’t get their way *fair and square*, they’re willing to THROW THE ELECTION. A rational, emotionally mature adult would not be so willing to risk an entire nation’s fate on such immature egomaniacal antics.

That sounds play by play like TOXIC GOP-STYLE tactics. hmmmmmmmmm.

All it takes is the other party to rally non-traditional voters while your party fails to do so. POTUS did this. It’s how he got the job twice, you know because those people can actually be approached and motivated.

“a scary percentage are talking about just not voting because some of her positions are the opposite of their own values.”

Regarding those 3 million voters...3 million independents were also disenfranchised in New York alone and unable to vote. It has been statistically demonstrated that Bernie does well in open primaries and caucuses (because he pulls independents) and Hillary does well in closed primaries. It's not rocket science. The…

But she has never been the nominee, thats different and she also isnt a great campaigner. I just feel like a lot of hillary supporters are just as dillusional as bernie supporters. Everyone is in for a rude awakening.

Bernie is not going to get out now. The Democratic party needs a contested convention if it wants to partially fix itself. It’s got a passionate young bunch of voters who are disgusted with the ways the “popular” candidate goes about her business. Without a contested convention there will be no closure for the Sanders…

Okay. Little upset. That’s fair. Good on Bernie. :)

It’s not like I think he’s got much of a chance (no chance, really). But that doesn’t mean a Hillary/Trump run isn’t going to be bleak. It’s going to be a harrowing 6 months no matter what.

I dunno, man. This article was published a little while ago, but it paints a scary and realistic picture of what a Hillary/Trump race would (will) look like:

Eh, I think I can handle 10%-ish of hope without trolling or losing my mind.

Polls predicted a loss for Bernie. Instead he won rather solidly.

I was kinda surprised, but in a nice way. I’d already hung up my hat.

This is exactly why his continued campaign is important.

Indiana is notoriously difficult to poll. It’s illegal to conduct landline phone polling there thanks to some law passed in the ‘80s.

My laymen’s opinion is that the polls have been wrong in some of the open primary states, since they don’t poll the independents that consistently vote for Bernie and that underestimates just how much independents swing the elections.

This is why Bernie is still in the race, and I’m glad that he is. His message matters to a lot of people and it’s good to keep them engaged in this cycle.

They often call old people on landlines, and that’s not exactly Bernie’s demographic.

Any explanations as to why the polls got it so wrong?
