That’s a good and fair move imo. Now I hope he endorses Sanders.


For a first run, he got a lot of support and seemed to do very, very well in debates and in media interviews. He came across smart AF and human. He also has plenty of time to run in 2024, 2028, 2032, etc. because he knows where the landscape of the people are at and what needs to happen. One could only hope he also would be considered for Veep too in whoever takes the nom.

The media and the DNC are doing everything they can to hype up everyone but Bernie. And let's not forget the DNC will more than likely "decide" the primary is "too close," so they can use the superdelegates to decide against the popular vote. Then there's the Electoral College, which will be another, similar hurdle. Bernie has two Mt. Everests to climb, but he's got his crampons on and rope coiled. The key is the elites of the DNC must not arrogantly overrule the representative democratic process (psephocracy) to fit their agenda.

Disclaimer: I have no horse in this race.


Cf super delegates, This is what happened with Hilary vs Bernie right? I saw this in the last michael moore movie but didn’t really get it. What is being done this year so that things go differentv
