14. If he loses he loses

There are obviously many people who are not going to be happy about it (including me). Each individual person has to decide how he or she wants to do if he loses and drops out. The thing is Bernie Sanders is not Donald Trump. Trump tried to use the threat of running as an independent for months before finally signing a pledge not to.

Yes, Bernie is persona non grata in the Democratic Party and the DNC minions are doing everything they can to make sure Clinton has an advantage despite her shitty campaign. The truth is though the only thing we can do at this point is continue to donate and to support Sanders as much as we can and wait and see what happens.

There are many things coming up that are important, the first of which will be Biden (most likely) saying he won't run. A few weeks after that we'll have polls that don't include him, which give a clearer picture of the race without Biden. The polls will be even more clear after the first debates and hopefully if Bernie has a great night we'll have ourselves a campaign.
