Sorry, Slimes, Sanders and his supporters, including this one, are NOT in it to decorate the coronation. We're in to win it. The delegate count is not "nearly insurmountable." It is surmountable, period. Clinton netted only 30** delegates in NY. There are plenty of delegates still to be won, including CA's 500+! And most of the remaining states are unlike NY, where Clinton won two Senate terms.
Sanders did better in NY than Obama, even with all the Democratic voter suppression in NY yesterday. And he may do better still, if the court forces a count of "affidavit" ("provisional"
ballots.
The one big set of facts that the Slimes and all of the Corrupt Media ignore is that Sanders has fantastic favorability and trustworthy numbers, nationwide, while Clinton's are dismal, that Sanders beats Trump by twice the margin that Clinton does, that Clinton loses to other Republicans, while Sanders beats them all, and--most important of all--that Sanders wins big among independent voters, who comprise 40% of the electorate.
Clinton has a constituency within the Democratic Party and nowhere else. And Sanders has closed the gap there as well, nationwide.
Upshot: Clinton is a lousy candidate. And it is truly unfortunate that so many Democratic primaries are closed, because this makes her serious vulnerability in the GE less visible.
Nope, this primary is NOT over. And Sanders is not an adjunct to the Clinton campaign, and his supporters don't view him that way. We see him as President--the best President we have had since FDR. And not since the New Deal has there been such a passion among Americans for fundamental change. And if the Democratic Party won't give it to us, we are going to see the end of the Democratic Party with Clinton's fail in November, or maybe a bit further down the line, with her fail as President.
She does not have the support to get anything done, even for her true constituency, Wall Street. And she is so scandal-vulnerable, we may see the U.S. government simply fall apart, with scandal-mongering, corruption, indictments and impeachment. Meanwhile, the very planet we depend upon for life is deteriorating day by day, due to fossil fuels. She can't and won't do anything about that either. It requires dramatic change and great courage. She is not capable of either thing. We may well see social chaos in this country in the near future, if we don't get the leader we need. Bernie Sanders is that leader. He is the only candidate who says that stabilizing our climate is our MORAL duty, and the only one with a plan to create decent jobs and improve things for the poor majority while we tend to our planet's habitability.

**(Latest news is that Clinton will only net 15 delegates, not 30, because Sanders won so many counties overall in NY. See
