This is how suspended campaigns work.

Do what you will. I'm working to get Bernie voters onboard the Joe train which is where they are needed..

11. Are they planning to win more delegates

to get more leverage?
No. Stop equating remaining on the ballot with trying to gain more leverage.

12. False equivalence.

In fact, it's laughable. Pete and Amy aren't making speeches imploring their supporters to keep voting for them so they'll have leverage at the convention.

16. They are still on the ticket.

Why should Bernie supporters not vote for him? Hell, Pete or Amy supporters could still toss them delegates as well.

Isn't Biden encouraging people to risk their lives to vote for him?

I don't get the Sanders double-standard.

7. It has been over since super tuesday. Yet Sanders did not put out this lacking statement until AFTER

people put their health at risk. Sanders states he is about staying on the ticket, getting votes to disrupt our convention once again. Point the finger at the one responsible for keeping this going instead of the people calling him out for his behavior and decisions.

Bernie only gives a damn about Bernie. That's why he's willing to risk people getting sick by going out to vote in unnecessary primaries.
I hate Bernie. If Joe was out, I would write in Cuomo.
