I'm in the same boat. Hell I'm still voting for Bernie on Tuesday. But I recognize that as long as Hillary wins in November the progressive movement will get a bit stronger as the years go on. Elizabeth Warren 2024 come on down!

Warren will be as old in 2024 as Bernie is this cycle.

I lost to you once, monster. I shall not lose again! Die now, that our future can live!
Also now there's a remote chance that Trump really fucks things up for the Republicans this year, so that's awesome.

There is enough people that probably think either candidate is ok with them, so they just don't bother. My mom didn't vote even though I have been educating her on Bernie for months.

That is exactly how Hitler ended up leader of the Nazis. Your mom is of a dangerous mindset. She might not care about the world, because she'll be gone, but the rest of us who have to live in it need Bernie. Do you really want someone with a mindset like that in your life? Especially after tonight?

I don't get it; I wanted Bernie and don't even like Hillary that much, but why are people pretending she's somehow a bad candidate? She's a loving hilariously powerful candidate. It's a real credit to Sanders that he made the impact against her that he did, even if she was clearly holding back so far.

She's actually an awful candidate that is the embodiment of the cancer that has been eroding this country for 50+ years.

Check out Pickens county in the north. That was supposed to be a sure win for Sanders. Went 11% for Clinton.

It'll be interesting to read about this in the next few days to see what happened.

If you write the candidate and ask for a refund, or get yourself in the paper so that the candidate keeping your $ makes them look bad, then maybe.

The business decisions of the Clinton post-Presidency are gross and are a liability for the campaign, as is the competency of Clintonworld in general, her lack of youth support, and the fact that every Democratic primary so far has lagged in turnout.

These are all things the campaign is going to need to work to correct as we move into the general election.

The known unknown is how her likely opponent will conduct his campaign.

Watching Hillary's speech makes me believe that this primary has improved her political skills enormously.

If she wins, this primary has made her a much better candidate, in abilities and message.

It's important to note that the "Southern Strategy" died in 2000 and anyone who cites it as anything except a historical artifact now is a fool.

I don't think she's significantly better than she was in 2008. But people definitely under-rated her skills this year because of her narrow loss back then.
