(22,666 posts)That, and Democrats REFUSE to vote while turnout on GOP side is busting records.
We're well and truly SCREWED.

(29,250 posts)is making folks think their vote doesn't matter. Every vote could mean another delegate for Bernie, and many don't understand this because they think She Is Inevitable. And they don't feel like going out to vote for her.
(My conclusion based on hundreds of voter conversations)

(22,666 posts)I saw the .gif of him doing that. It was just perfect!
I think you're right - establishment Dems and establishment (corporate) media has convinced most voters that he is unelectable and she is inevitable. At the same time, there isn't much enthusiasm for voting for her with all the history, record, money she gets from big bus and wall st, and other baggage.
We're screwed.

(37,428 posts)If we lose this presidential primary, there are still a lot of reasons to build on our successes the rest of this year. Most of Congress is there for the taking, and all sorts of state and local offices.

(13,340 posts)The Bernie Brigade has to do three things:
1) Actually show up and vote.
2) Support, like MAD, down-ticket candidates. No one, not Hillary, and not Bernie, is going to make that kind of difference in the White House if Congress is still controlled by the Rethuglicans.
3) And for emphasis, that means showing the fuck up. Show up at local party meetings. Get involved. Run candidates... hell BE a candidate if no one representing your ideas is running. And.... VOTE IN OFF-YEAR ELECTIONS!
