(8,311 posts)I want to be civil to the people who really do want to see him win. And it's too soon to see humor yet for many. People who I care about as fellow Democrats.
This position -- really believing in a candidate but just not seeing the math as workable isn't a fun one. I know. I was there myself.
I already voted, and had in 2008. It was a little easier. But this year they moved the primaries much further apart, overcorrecting IMHO from trying to fight 2008 over again when it has been eight years rather than out of bias.... but it's led to later primary states and people who want to vote for Bernie to feel disenfranchised.
I don't know if it's a good idea to have all primaries on the same days, because it doesn't let the candidates get to interact with people in the states. But it's yhe only idea I can think of to keep later-voting states from feeling like they don't get to take a meaningful part because of such high delegate leads already.
