All this talk...and so little real impact.

For Bernie Sanders to get the nomination, he's going to have to sweep the few remaining primaries by very large margins. That's obvious. So, the equally obvious solution is for everyone who supports Sanders to get out an even larger Sanders vote than in the past. Two weeks. That's really all the time you have left to do that.

Bickering here on DU isn't going to do it. Not a chance. Instead, the only thing that could possibly work would be a massive GOTV effort in the remaining states. Who's working on that right now?

Calling other Democrats names and attacking Hillary Clinton on a discussion forum with maybe 2500-3000 regular readers is not how this will get done. And, if you think DU has more readers than that, I encourage you to look at the view count for the most popular posts, remembering that ever visit to the thread adds to the count.

How many primaries are left? How many Sanders supporters can work the phones or walk precincts to get out the vote for him?

Arguing here and elsewhere on the Internet isn't going to cut it. So, by all means, call me some sort of shill or bot or whatever you like. That's fine. If you're doing that or saying similar things to other Clinton supporters, you're here and not getting out the vote for Sanders. Fine with me, really, but not effective.

going somewhere to GOTV. Not worried at all. Hillary's got this.
