Bernie Sanders' campaign may be in trouble going forward.

Bernie Sanders' campaign may be in trouble going forward. The question is, if the math becomes impossible to work out, should the Vermont Senator continue to campaign and spread his message, possibly convincing democrats not to vote for Hillary or should he bow out gracefully and work to bring his followers into the "democrat" camp?

Hell no. He should work on the Democrats to move them over to represent the voters.

He should keep pushing the Democrats in his direction. No free lunch for the status quo..

I had no reason to vote for Hillary in 2008, I have no reason to vote for her in 2016. 

And, for crying out loud, will these fucking assholes stop crapping on my vote? California's primary isn't until June, and people are all 'Bernie has to quit'? F--k you and the horse you rode in on.

(Consider that in 2008, these are the same geniuses who alternately sang 'inevitable Hillary' and then months of 'Hillary has to quit' - and neither prediction was true.)

Bernie will go to the convention to make a deal. Include some of his proposals and ideals into the Democratic platform and he will ask his people to vote for Hillary.Bernie's ideas and proposals are nothing but Harry Potter hocus pocus words they believe will come true by waving a magic wand. Come this time next year Bernie and his words will be forgotten. Bernie will retire back to Vermont and spend his years writing a book about his socialistic revolution and, like now, not be able to explain how it can be done.

As I said, no reason to vote for Hillary.

I'd have thought making sure there is not a President Trump would be a good reason for voting for Hillary.

It's gotten to the point where it's a choice between values I won't compromise on and holding my nose and voting. (I voted for Jill Stein in 2012 because of Obama's horrible record at reining in the surveillance state.)

This comes from NPR, which is now heavily funded by none other that KOCK brothers.  NPR is no longer to be trusted. There are 19 states remaining, and Hillary is supported by the Banks.  Enough said, we will fight on.  Bernie is our champion, and we will continue until all states have voted and we send him to the convention.
This is about democracy.

Sam Moore do you have any idea how many times I've wanted to come back to a post after someone's predictions either came true or fell flat on their faces? It never even occurred to me to use Calendar as a reminder. Good call.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
