If you have anything to say over there that is less than worshipful of Her Royal Highness, you should say it before March 15.

If the election is still up for grabs then, it appears that the PTB (including Markos) are going to do everything they can to slam their fists on the scale.

(11,546 posts)seriously, they want to disenfranchise so many of us and crown the Queen way before Bernie's strong states even have a chance to vote. They, the MSM, and the Dems want us all to think that Bernie has NO chance. Well I think they're a bunch of cowardly, right wing pushing, status quo idiots who are throwing away the BEST chance that we ALL have to actually change politics and the world that we live in. Fuck them!!

(36,063 posts)I think it just shows more of the general heavy handedness ... I don't expect that to immediately help bring together the different camps for the GE, but it gives people a long time to come to grips with it.

(14,733 posts)Kos isn't saying flat out, on March 15, it's all Hillary. He's saying that if Sanders hasn't been narrowing the gap by then, he's really running out of time to do so. And I'd have to agree with him. Bernie does need to be chewing into her lead starting this weekend, and continue doing so through the 15th. Personally, I'd love to see her (regular delegate) lead chopped at least in half by the 16th.

(2,345 posts)Narrowing the gap in terms of delegates actually cast? Vis-a-vis totals with the super delegates thrown into the mix, all of which will be assumed to be in HRH's camp? I agree that Bernie needs to start diminishing her lead in the next ten days, but I am not quite so gullible as to think that any amount of progress on Bernie's part will be deemed sufficient to warrant Kos backing off this March 15 edict. You know and I know that whatever the results are, they will be interpreted in such a way as to support the "inevitable" candidate.

Well...I refuse shut up and bow before The Queen.

(39,451 posts)Yes that includes super delegates.
(Right now the delegates won = 596 Hillary - 407 Bernie.)
Knowing that she is short 1325 delegates, why is this race over?
What happened this year that made Hillary supporters stop believing in democracy and our right to vote.

They don't care that they are wrong. Everything with them is a frigging head game.

Would emails work in the same fashion?
