I don't understand what the people calling for him to drop out hope to accomplish, other than pissing off his supporters (and some of us who are undecided but are waiting for the chance to participate in the primary process). I was for Warren and am not thrilled with either remaining option, but the more threads I see demanding that Bernie drop out the more likely I am to vote for him when my state finally gets to vote in late April.

In 2008 Hillary fought for voters in every state to have a say and even though I was an Obama supporter I agreed with her.

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