Hillary must do at least twice as well to be considered "even" with her competitor. This is despite her significant lead in pledged delegates and more than 2.5 million in the popular vote. The SDs, of course, are ignored because they will soon magically "feel the Bern" and desert Hillary en masse.

Lots of us have seen these double standards and dismissal of our significant accomplishments happen in our real lives.

We are damned if we are going to stand by and let these things happen to Hillary this time.
