(9,314 posts)You made so many good points to cheer up Sanders' supporters.
I don't think the problem is that Sanders lost a state primary; I think the problem is that while many have thought from the beginning "the fix is in" -- that was the pie thrown in our face when those results came in. I do not believe Sanders' internal numbers reflected a 15 percent loss. A few points okay, but 15?
Regardless, now we know what we have to do. We have to fight harder, dig deeper into our pockets, stand up to the people asking Sanders to give up, defend him against the unfair accusations, beat back the pure insults. The point is not only cannot Sanders concede, we must not either. We need to bomb the political platform with reasons why the remaining voters must choose the better candidate for the White House because not to do so will inflict serious harm not only to this Country but to the rest of the world as well from hereon out to eternity.
Thank you for this thread, and please excuse my rant. I am fired up and ready to go as you say "fight the good fight!"
