She isn't the presumptive nominee until she has the required pledged delegates. longship Jun 2016 #5
Yah I clearly never said she was the nominee. Agschmid Jun 2016 #6

De-blah de-blah de-blah blah blah blah.

Same shit we've been reading here for months. Maybe you guys ought to wait until she actually has the delegates. Unfortunately hubris means that many of you have never done that. And then you simultaneously complain about Bernie Bros.

Sounds like a Rovian strategy to me.

My advice:
1. Let the voters vote before you declare victory.

2. Stop being fucking jerks about it.

(Number 2 applies equally to some Bernie supporters here.)

ETA: seems to me that they are trying to depress Clinton supporter turnout... Not that it matters since there aren't many Clinton folks here.

if Bernie gets more delegates because supporters of the establishment candidate stayed home because of watching corporate news call the election early, whose fault is that?

It is that fucking simple.

DU posts, notwithstanding. "It's her turn!!!!!" (Note: There are no turns, nor family entitlements, in the US Presidency. One has to EARN that office.)

I support Bernie and will gladly support the Democratic nominee. However, if it is Hillary Clinton, it will be the most difficult presidential vote of my life. That is not about me.

My sincere apologies. Your posts are amongst the ones I click through to.

Forgive me.
