HRC supporters: Please stop saying that it doesn't matter if Sanders wins a state. IT DOES MATTER! [View all]

Whenever I hear someone assert that it doesn't matter if Bernie Sanders wins a state because HRC still has more pledged delegates, I cringe. IT DOES MATTER!

It matters because the Corporate Media continues to treat this guy with kid gloves.
It matters because it keeps the narrative going that HRC is unelectable and unlikable.
It matters because it keeps Trump's mouth running about how HRC can't "put Bernie away".
It matters because as long as Sanders' supporters believe that he has a chance, even when he doesn't, the less likely we are to come together; and Sanders will continue to make demands on the party and try to destroy it from within.

I understand that winning is about pledged delegates.

But as long as this guy wins by ANY metric, it keeps false narratives going and it allows him to make these demands.

It's time for all Democrats to come together. But the more he is perceived to have won anything or to have a chance at anything, it keeps the hatred going.

Hell, we can't even go to any DU forum outside of this one without the hate.

He can't win ANYTHING by ANY metric because it matters when he does.
