I'm not even supporting Bernie right now, and I even sent Joe a small donation last week, but all the calls for Bernie to drop out now, before more than half of the party gets the chance to vote, are seriously irritating me. And I find it hypocritical for Biden people to be calling for wrapping it up now when their candidate was left for dead a week ago.

If Biden gets to 1990, Bernie should drop out. Otherwise, Bernie should stay in until the end, or at least unless/until a plurality becomes mathematically impossible (as in, he wouldn't get it even if he won 100% of the remaining delegates), and then endorse Biden if Biden has a plurality.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
