Can we please respect the Democratic party voters?

We've had multiple debates in multiple formats. We've had primaries and caucuses in most regions of the U.S., and the voters are expressing their choices. The primaries have been fair to all participants. The results speak for themselves.

Here are the popular vote tallies so far:

Clinton: 8,657,362
Sanders: 5,905,252

Clinton = +2,752,110

The DNC has been unfair to Bernie.

We've had three whole debates, and you're using it as a selling point?

The desperation is becoming more and more obvious.

There's been far more than that. We've had numerous town halls and other one on one interviews for an hour.

One of them during a three-day holiday weekend.

One just before Christmas.

Yeah, totally nothing odd at all there. Totally.

I have not voted yet. I WILL vote for Bernie and he's not going anywhere as he said TODAY. Less than half of the states does NOT constitute the UNITED States.

The theme of 'enough of these silly elections' is very ironic coming from you who very recently posted this:

"How can you have a political revolution when you willy, nilly write off states?"

Moaning that the Southern vote was not being respected enough or something. And yet you wish to end the election while more than half the country has not voted and while the entire West Coast has not voted.

Why do you hate the West Coast?

12. Why?

Because they voted as they honestly thought best?

But don't millions of Republican voters do the same thing? Vote as they genuinely think is best? And aren't those Republican voters, at least when they're workingmen and women, criticized over and over again around here for not voting in their own best interest?

Yeah...it's like that.

And you'll be asking people to respect the Republican voters who have currently outvoted us by 2 to 1.
Do you really want to go there?
