1. The popular vote count is important to be tracking....

2. That would be amusing. Still doesn't matter in the long run, of course...

but it would complicate matters for Sanders supporters who insist it's the only thing that should matter.

3. Which means "the popular vote doesn't matter" will cease to be uttered here at DU.

We'll now see a massive shift in how DUers, as a whole, view the popular vote.

Funny how that works.

4. Nah, some of us believe it regardless of who's ahead.

The only thing that matters are delegates. No one at the convention will care what the popular vote was except Sanders supporters. For the most part, they're the only ones who care now. This isn't going to change anything with the people who actually understand how the process works.

If anything, I can see Biden supporters rubbing it in a bit since it's all they've heard from Sanders supporters since Iowa. It would be a bit untoward, but I really couldn't blame them, frankly.

5. Riiiiiight. Nice way of excusing the inevitable "Biden leads in the popular vote" posts.

Like, you know, this very thread in which we're posting.

"It's just Biden supporters getting back at Sanders supporters. They don't really mean it." LOL

6. Whining about your candidate's big loss isn't a terribly compelling argument.

Got anything else?

7. I'm not whining about anything. I just think DU hypocrisy is hilariously abundant.

Look no further than the posts that get removed (say, posts attacking Bloomberg's actual record/history) and the ones that don't (posts attacking Sanders, which make up more than half the posts in this forum).
