Will the delusion and fantasy finally fade away after next Tuesday?

[DavidDvorkin]

What will it take?

[SaschaHM]

1. Unfortunately no.

The rational supporters who understand delegate math and the idiocy of the Devine-Weaver superdelegate plan are not the folks howling and posting right wing smears in GDP.

It will only end when Skinner calls it and they barricade themselves at the SandersforPresident reddit page.

[fleabiscuit]

2. Even then it's gonna go down kicking and screaming. eom

[savalez]

4. What will Skinner do to make it tolerable around here?

[SaschaHM]

10. I'm new here, but...

from what I can understand, at a certain point Skinner calls it and attacks on Hillary, as the prospective nominee, are deemed out of bounds.

[savalez]

21. I hope you're right.

[DavidDvorkin]

24. I keep waiting for that to happen

It's past time.

[NanceGreggs]

3. Probably not.

If Skinner wants to retain the current crop of BSers, he's going to have to establish a separate forum where they can keep insisting that Bernie is going to win it any day now - which will undoubtedly be active for at least the next three-to-four years.

[TexasTowelie]

7. They already have JPR.

I doubt that many of them will want to join a new forum that is connected to Skinner in any way.

[NanceGreggs]

8. True that.

It's kind of sad to have watched Skinner literally give the site over to the people who are now encouraging DUers to post elsewhere.

[Firebrand Gary]

5. My sincere hope for DU

Is that when Secretary Clinton locks up the Tuesday states, DU makes a strategic decision to move into GE mode. This can be done while being respectful to Senator Sander's and allow him to finish out his campaign. The opposition is already pivoting, allowing DU members to bash each other for another two months is not a wise strategy.

[Squinch]

6. I bet it doesn't. This is true blind fanaticism.

[NanceGreggs]

9. It really is. n/t

[Trenzalore]

11. No

After the convention, there will be calls for a third party run. While this may be out of bounds on DU the people that pollute your social media will still be around.

[Hekate]

12. No

[DemonGoddess]

13. I wish, but no

[anotherproletariat]

14. Something has to give...the Sanders folks are so stubborn that I've seen them turn against their own

Anyone who is for Sanders, but talks about any type of unity after the primary is being shunned and turned on. How do they think they are going to win supporters?

[savalez]

22. Maybe that's the answer.

A circular firing squad until no one remains.

[Lil Missy]

15. no. they will still think Bernie is winning.

[Lucinda]

16. January 2017 n/t

[beachbum bob]

17. nope....as long as money keeps rolling to bernie, his ego won't let him stop

[Coolest Ranger]

18. History says these clowns

will keep saying he will win and win big when in reality he won't

[Thinkingabout]

19. The end is coming, I want to see the results of the last primary, add up the

Numbers and wrap myself in them like snuggling under a blanket in freezing temperature. More votes, more delegates.

[IamMab]

20. They're going to make us wait until Sanders needs more delegates than are even available. nt

[sarae]

23. and even then

they'll try to find some BS reason (<---see what I did there? ) that he should be the nominee...

[NastyRiffraff]

25. If I were a believer

I'd pray for it. As it is, I can only hope.

[liberal N proud]

26. I don't think these BS'ers will go away that easily

These BS'ers are going to be disruptors.

[Stand and Fight]

27. Nope. They want the lost to hit them as hard as possible.

Then they can really engage in mental masturbation about perceived persecution, cheating, and unfairness.
