Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race. Too late? Does he matter anymore?

How. Does. It. Relate. To. The. Current. State. Of. Affairs?

I’m not saying it has zero relevance at all, I’m not saying that it has to matter to others in order to be relevant, I’m merely asking, and apparently I need to reiterate several times, how is it relevant to this particular conversation?

You are entitled to your opinion, but sorry, nobody owes you any further explanation.

But Hillary and her minions wouldn't let that happen. Trump's election was her fault more than anyone else's IMO.

Seems like it was a perfect sh|t storm. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but given the friendship that the Clintons (Bill, in particular) had with Trump a few short years ago, I think it's not out of the realm of possibility that they were in cahoots. 

Whatever happens, I'll continue to live my life, doing the small things I can to try to make this world a better place. I was saddened and disappointed by the Bernie news today, but I don't harbor angry feelings about it. I still believe he's a genuinely good person and wish the very best for him. 

Why would you be proud of "throwing away your vote?" 

If you were forced to be in a dual with Trump, would you shoot into the ground?

Biden had just lost one of his children and yet you hold him personally responsible for not running and saving America from a minority incapable of informed judgment?

Biden will pick a strong running mate.  

Elect him to give America and the world time to at least partially recover from the damage inflicted on America by the Trump and a have a solid replacement in place should it prove necessary.

1) Proud??

2) I wouldn't duel with Trump or anyone else. I don't touch guns. I would shoot rubber bands at both Trump and Biden. Does that count?

3) That isn't exactly what I said, but I do think he would have beaten Trump. 

4) We shall see who he's instructed to choose. 

5) I'm undecided at this point, but as I said, my state's electoral votes will certainly go to Trump anyway. 

I was with you until the first part of that last sentence. :)

I'm not with you for not being with me on the last sentence because if the $6200000000000 stimulus becomes a bailout or a wealth transfer to bankers or hyper-inflation happens then Donald Trump's going to be the one getting all the blame for it so he's going to be the Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall, not Congress, the President gets both credit and blame for everything.  If it turns out this way before the election you can just stick a fork in Donald Trump because he'll be done, in which case we'll have Joe Biden who might not even know he's the President.  

If it doesn't happen that way before Election Day then Donald Trump still can win re-election so if it happens that way and there's a banker bailout or hyper-inflation there won't be any consequences for Donald Trump anyway, because he's safe until the end of his term even though he'd become a very unpopular president with most of the country instead of just half of the country like now.  However, we could get lucky and it won't happen that way so there won't be transfers of wealth to wealthy bankers or hyper-inflation.

Fair enough.  But at the same time when a business regardless of size is suddenly told by the government they are not allowed to be open for business.  I do believe that government should pay the bills. 

Banks are not in that position.

I am happy it is Biden...he is by far the worst they could have picked.  Creepy Senile Uncle Joe.   I do not know a Trump supporter who has left Trump.   But I know I do live in Trump country.  Some of my other family lives in Southern IL also Trump country.

And where does the government get its money?  Oh, never mind---I just remembered that the government gets its money by taxation.

Actually it prints it. If you think the gov has any intention of paying any of its debt....you are wrong. No President in modern times has paid anything down on the debt. They print more. It would be a problem but for the fact that the rest of the world also is doing the same thing.  
If we were still on the gold standard it would matter. But we are not.  

So yes gov taxes people. But they print more and more. 

Yeah, let's throw a bunch of money into the money supply---what problems could that possibly cause, right?

That's what I read, too.  Makes no sense.  

He hangs onto his delegates.  I'm not sure who else could get them now...have all of the dem candidates dropped out except for Biden and Sanders?  

As far as I know, the last holdout was Tulsi Gabbard and she also dropped out, so there's no reason for Sanders to hold onto his delegates.  As of now, without Sanders' delegates, Biden doesn't have the required number to be the official candidate.  I can't imagine anyone throwing their hat in the ring at this late date, so I'm not sure why Bernie refuses to give them up.
