(50,254 posts)All anyone said was that the race didn't END on Super Tuesday. You'd have to concede the point.

Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)What were we supposed to say?
He'd have stopped being a progressive if he had dropped out of the race that night.

(58,785 posts)the hundreds of offensive and even overtly anti-democracy posts that disgraced Sanders' more aggressive contingent so badly? Give it up.
If you don't like being associated with unworthy radical behaviors, distance yourself from them.
Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)That would have meant giving up on trying to get anything progressive done.
We know we didn't do well that one day...but it didn't end the contest and there's no reason it should have. Only conservatives would gain from Bernie getting out before the primaries end. HRC will immediately move further right the day Bernie gets out. His staying in at least minimizes the betrayals that will come.
Bernie never deserved to be targeted on race. The most progressive candidate is always the most antiracist.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
