to even.

His campaign is broke, so he's firing up those who can least afford to donate, and telling them to send the rent money to continue on in this pointless, fruitless and failing adventure.

I feel sorry for the people who are spending the grocery money on this guy.

That's pretty much what they're feeling.

And they're taking it out on US, instead of looking to the missteps of those who were responsible for managing their favorite's quest.

Spending millions in places like NY that he was never going to win was just irresponsible. He's out of cash because of decisions like that, just when he needs it most. The plan was clearly short-term, and they've been flying by the seat of their pants since maybe halfway through the campaign. Send more money!

Life isn't complete for them unless there's some kind of drama to freak out about.

Just like they want democracy, except when their candidate wins caucuses, the least democratic portion of the process.

And they want the will of the people to decide, except in Nevada.

The Superdelegates are completely undemocratic, unless Sanders can use them to win. Then, it's the will of the people (again).

They rail against the "oligarchy," but they forget what the word means: "government by the few." In their way of thinking, the many do not count.

They are anti-democratic authoritarians.

There's a thread in GDP that starts with the assertion that Sanders represents half of the Democratic Party.

Wait, I thought he hated the Dems, now he represents half of them?

I pointed out that Dems have voted for Hillary as a solid majority. If everyone had closed primaries, this would have been over a month ago.
