(145,079 posts)Math is math. The fact that you do not understand or agree with the math is meaningless. Sanders only appealed to a very narrow demographic segment in the Democratic Party and lost badly with African American and Latino voters. African American and Latino voters are key segments of the party and you can not ignore their votes simply because these groups refused to support Sanders.
As of the Super Tuesday primaries, Hillary Clinton had a pledged delegate lead that Sanders had no chance of overcoming. At the end, Clinton had more than four times the lead in pledged delegates over Sanders compared to the lead in pledged delegates that President Obama had over Hillary Clinton in 2008.
Math is a good thing. Ignoring the math will not help your case.
