The Odds Against a Current Candidate Who Is Polling under 5% Are Very High

1. I think calling for candidates to drop out on this forum is in bad taste, bad politics

...it tends to spill over to supporters who have as much right as anyone to continue to advocate for the candidate of their choice.

It shouldn't go unnoticed that your candidate of choice is safe from making that decision, so I have to wonder why you feel the need to press for others candidates to withdraw. It has a depressing effect, and it alienates people who are organizing under our Democratic banner, threatening to demoralize them.

Let these campaigns decide on their own when to let their supporters down. No one needs anyone to push them off of the stage at this point and it does nothing but aggravate folks here who are investing their hopes in this primary

Obviously calling for this here at DU does nothing to influence the candidates, and speaks directly to supporters here.
