Nobody is "entitled," and I sure as hell have NEVER suggested that anyone is, although it's a perpetual point here at DU to point out that the Democratic Party is entitled to my vote.
Disclaimer: I am not advocating for voting for anything or anyone outside of the Democratic Party, as per DU rules. I am a Democrat. I'm just pointing out that, while no candidate is entitled to a vote, here at DU entitlement is part and parcel of the TOS.
I think Kweli also correct about the logistics.
I also agree with Maher that Sanders is not the problem. The problem is not any one candidate, or the group of candidates, in the '16 primaries. It's a hell of a lot more long-term, wide-spread, and embedded than that. The primary campaigns DO offer a vehicle for activism.
