none of you know how politics work and it’s starting to show

“suspended campaign” doesn’t mean “temporarily taking a break and will be back,” it means “dropped out but still on the ballot.”

almost every nominee “suspends their campaign” rather than drops out. NO, the media is not deliberately misleading you by using the phrase “dropped out” because the two things ARE equivalent. if they leave out the bit about still gathering delegates, then yes, they are misleading you, but the point still stands–bernie is not running for president anymore.

he is still gathering delegates so that he can push the DNC platform to the left at the democratic convention, not to continue his bid for presidency.

bernie is trying his best to redeem the democratic party and to reform it as much as he can before the november election so that young people vote for biden.

i can guarantee bernie hates biden as much as we do. he does not like him. he obviously agrees that he would be a better candidate than biden.

but he also recognizes there is no path forward where that is possible so he is going to spend the next 6 months begging democrats to become a party young people can support and begging young people to still support the democratic party.

because he recognizes trump is dismantling the american government before our eyes and not in the fun revolution way but in the scary fascist way. and he doesn’t want us to succumb to that.

if you love bernie and want his ideas to reach the white house, follow his lead in these next few months. vote for him in the primaries to get him delegates and then LISTEN to him at the convention and LISTEN when he tells us to still go vote.
