Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

      Hence the past tense. :) But technically, nothing is final until the conventions in July and August, and nobody OFFICIALLY has enough delegates to be the candidate yet.

        Fair. Most people here don’t seem to understand that the time for him to step down has most likely already passed and are still talking about how someone else could run against him (without usually naming who) and complaining that no one has when, as I said earlier, they did not do the work to even try to get someone else in there.

        And people really didn’t like it when I suggested that maybe Bernie doing it twice despite the DNC being against him and knowing he didn’t have much of a chance was because he thought that trying before complaining that no one tried was the thing to do.

          I love Bernie, but even if the DNC decided to not fuck with him, his time ended when he had the heart attack and the stent, and I say that as someone who literally just had a heart attack and a stent a month ago. Survival is debilitating. :( OTOH, it IS surviving…
