In reply to the discussion: NEWS: Sanders Campaign Statement on New York Primary [View all]The Magistrate
(95,244 posts)28. There Is Still A Primary In New York, Sir
Twenty counties which had no local offices on the ballot will do nothing, but odds are these are small and comprise but a small proportion of the primary electorate. All the rest have local offices, and measures, even a special election of two on their ballots.
All that has happened is that no one who is not actively campaigning for the Democratic party's nomination for President appears on any ballot. That hardly strikes me as some calamitous infringement on the right of the people to vote, let alone some vest-pocket exercise in fascism.

Sanders is done and he's not a Democrat. He should have zero input into our platform.
