[QUOTE=cody8295;50574931]Theyre still counting ballots in california. An official tuled that all provisional and crossover ballots be counted (very rare). Sanders might actually win California[/QUOTE] Behold, the last man holding out from the inevitable tidal wave of reality.

"Hey look someone believes in something close to them let's point and laugh ahahahahaha" get over yourselves. He's not saying he'd magically win the nomination, he's just saying sanders might actually win cali. we're past the point of no return anyway

Honestly, can you blame him? Sanders is our only hope of having a decent president for the next 4 years. It upsets me greatly that he won't be our candidate.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;50581761]When it comes from Cody, he legit believes it's a serious possibility.[/QUOTE] mathematically speaking, it is possible. probability is an entirely different story though.

I like Sanders as much as the next guy but I honestly don't see how he can grab the nomination. Like make me a roadmap with numbers and shit so that I can understand how you see Sanders' getting the nomination.

Superdelegates have been flipping recently, not nearly enough yet for him to take the lead but the convention isn't for another month. A lot can happen in a month, including more leaked documents showing Clintons negligence

Yes - you're right, 554 superdelegates could decide to switch to Sanders and win him the election by a single vote. Aliens could visit Earth and bring world peace through doge memes, too.

We have 30 days, and california is still flipping counties for Bernie. If he doesn't win the nomination I have a suspicion he will run Independent and Trump will be president. I know that he's said he wont, but he has been dropping subtle hints lately

[QUOTE=DVH;50586450]And how do you think Sanders'll ensure that these superdelegates will switch over to him without sinking Clinton's ship in the event that she wins anyway?[/QUOTE] Why should Sanders be responsible for Hillarys sinking ship? It's been sinking since she started her campaign. If anything, Hillary should unite the party by dropping out so that Trump doesn't win

And I don't think Clinton's campaign is bombing, even just because Trump's bombing harder.

[QUOTE=cody8295;50586505]Is supporting sanders a mistake in your opinion?[/quote] Not at all.

It's unfortunate, but that's a shitty political system for you.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;50586576]If you hate Clinton so much then vote for Stein or whoever rather than Trump[/QUOTE] Right now I'm undecided between Sanders and Trump. I know for sure I won't vote Hillary or Stein, considering they don't have enough support to beat Trump. Hopefully sanders surprises us all on July 26th and announces a 3rd party run, but if not then I'm gonna go Trump. I don't care how radically different their spoken opinions are, I base my vote off of what they said and did BEFORE they decided to run for office.

A vote in this system won't change anything today and neither will voting for the established candidates. That being said, should I write in Bernie Sanders or write in Jill Stein?

And has nearly consistently polled higher than Trump. Okay. Sanders has pledged since the start of his campaign not to run independent and split the vote. If he backed out on that, he'd be flip-flopping and lying. How can you encourage that? Sanders will lose at the convention in a month, Hillary will become the nominee, and Trump's campaign will collapse. Hillary will be the president. Is it optimal? No. Is it the reality of the situation? Almost definitely, looking at the polls and at how Trump's campaign is already treading in underfunded, controversial waters that is pushing away even moderate conservatives.
