(2,983 posts)Tonight, for the first time, I was tempted to do the same - but I won't. If you really believe in what you speak of, if you really want that change - then I ask you to stick in this thing with me, here at DU and with our votes, until the very end. Every vote counts. Every state counts. Every delegate counts. We are not done yet! How much did Bernie start out with? How much did the campaign start out with? How much did we, his supporters, start out with?
The super delegate count remains irrelevant until the convention. Clinton's lead among actually democratically chosen delegates is not so extreme that it cannot be challenged and even passed. The worm may very well yet turn.
BE FEARLESS. Sanders needs us - and we need him. Do not remove your important voice from DU, stay, stay and keep this fight going until it's conclusion one way or another.
If you really believe we can do the things you said were feasible - stick around. We can still do them!
