In reply to the discussion: The benefit of the Democrats denouncing Sanders's selfishness [View all]The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)Only Sanders receiving the nomination would convince them the primary is not rigged against Sanders. And Sanders is not going to be the nominee.
The energy in this election comes from middle of the road types grown disgusted with this cheap thug Trump, and the passion to defeat this cheap thug Trump among rank and file Democrats, who hate the creature like poison. Attempts t placate 'Bernie' and his cult will repel the former and enrage the latter. People on the leftmost tail of the political spectrum ar going to have decide whether they want to oppose the cristo-fascist right, or surrender any chance of progress in a left direction for a generation. If they choose not to join in struggle, any harm coming from that decision is theirs alone.
"Now that is cool. a highwayman puts a pistol to my head and says give me your money, or I shall have to shoot you, and you will become a murderer."
"From Bernies perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they dont want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."
"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."

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
