    It amuses me that these people want to change the electorate to be more "democratic," yet don't want their nominee to be chosen democratically. Basically, they want power and will use whatever system they feel is best to achieve that at the time.

    The party election process has never been purely democratic. It is more important to pick someone who can win. Constantly putting up candidates who can't win serves no purpose.

    Your need to put your ideal candidate up could give the office back to trump. Is that what you want? Is it more important to support Bernie than to get rid of trump?

    Bernie will never pull the moderates. The republicans will rightfully wave the Socialism banner and walk all over Bernie. Then you will be left with trump.

    Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

    The Democratic party has brazenly shown us that they are no longer the party for average American people. They have shown their true colors and proven that they are scrambling for themselves and their corporate bosses in order to hold onto their gravy train. Their party's over. I have no support to give to or for the elitist Dems who in secret would vote for Trump over a Dem candidate who might force them and their puppet masters to pay a few cents more in taxes. No way, no how and now excuse me while I log into PayPal to donate more money to Senator Sanders who is worthy of my support.

    Duh! I don't identify with a party. I support POLICY and people with integrity. The new crop of young Progressives is what the party is supposed to be about. The Republican-lite version of the party needs to be destroyed...along with the current crime riddled GOP.

    Bernie would get destroyed in the GE and cost the Dems the House.

    That is a given.

    Bernie could win the Pop. Vote by 5 Million (by running up margins in Cali) and still Lose the Rust Belt.

    Bottom line:

    If you don't like Biden, you better pray that the Dems can find somebody who can ride into an Open Convention and save the day.

    B/c Bernie or Bloomberg = A Sure LOSS.

    Sanders is a huge POS. He doesn't want billionaire donors who can afford to give him money and instead takes money from the little people who can only give what little they can afford. He takes money from the little people all while he lives in the lap of luxury in his 3 houses and then logs the most time in private jets than any other candidate and then has the cajones to whine about global warming.

    Besides being a communist, Sanders is a fraud.

    Both the video & your acceptance of it, are wrong. All the candidates except Sanders agreed to keep their personal committeemen to abide by the way the Democratic Party agreed to handle the process at the convention if no one got the nomination on the first ballot. Sanders declined & broke his word to the party in doing so. I'm not saying the process agreed upon was the best possible, or that I agree with it. But it was agreed upon BEFORE the primaries began, & all the candidates committed to it. It would be highly disruptive to try changing it now.

    They should just all fight it out with piñata sticks to see who gets it.

    My money is on Warren, she fights dirty I bet.
