Absolutely. Local and state politics are so much more important than most people think they are.

With any luck he’ll keep pushing his supporters to stay/get more active in the party, and give it the push it needs from the ground up.

I thought that too—and I still think that—but I hope everyone tones it down on the cheap shots. Those are not good for the general election.

With all due respect: NOOO. As someone who will (mostly) happily vote for Clinton in the general, we absolutely need Sanders to stay in the game. He’s pushing her to the left, and dropping out now without further setting the stage for his supporters to go to her will completely alienate his base from Clinton.

Oh dear god.

He is hanging out with Mike Huckabee these days.

And congrats to you for your ideological and moral purity. Enjoy not being in power, because that allows you to maintain such purity, and that is clearly important to you.

Well goodnight then. I suppose we will find out who won this argument in the next 6 to 8 months when they finally unveil the new ten and the woman prominently featured on it.

Lol dude. The gif was for fun. It’s ok to admit that you were wrong, berningreburn. It’s ok. The world will keep turning.

Actually it took me about 5 and it proved you wrong and you’ve got no comeback because you know you’re wrong so

Yup, definitely questioning your reading comprehension:

None of those say that a woman won’t be on the bill. None say that Treasury Secretary Lew has changed his mind because of the popularity of Hamilton. None say that the popularity of Hamilton has pushed a woman off the bill. It’s already been decided that a woman will be featured ‘on the face’ of the bill, according to…

A woman will still be on the bill. Slate is misrepresenting what was said.

Yes, they should. Our system is so flawed because people think of parties as enshrined quasi-government entities.

Perhaps they ought to consult Bernie’s top advisor, Tad Davine about this, since he was instrumental in creating the Superdelegate process. Also, Bernie is a Superdelegate. Are they gonna harass him?

The parties aren’t supposed to be democratic, though. They’re private organizations, and have never been democratic. It’s nice that they give people a voice, but...they don’t have to do that. If someone wants to run in the general outside the party system, they are more than welcome to do so, at which point “one…

Bernie tends to outperform the polls in caucus states, and he did well in almost every caucus state partly because of that. Switching caucuses to popular votes would mean a greater delegate gap to Hilary, not a smaller one. If it weren’t for caucus states he wouldn’t be as close as he is now.

You’re begging the question—if it’s not “yours,” then its not for you to say how its run. A political party is a private organization just like a business or a charity—you can leave if you like, you can work your way into the organization if you like, but your argument sounds perilously close to the “Netflix owes us…

If they promise not to make a difference, then why have ‘em?

Nope, not a majority. If a majority of Dem primary voters prefer a candidate, supers are irrelevant. If you get to the number, you get to the number and it’s yours. Pledged delegates are pledged delegates.
