This isn't about BS anymore. He lost. The party doesn't owe him a participation prize any more than they owe one to all the other candidates who have dropped out.

The voters have chosen to go for realistic and attainable goals rather than talking about things that will never pass.

BS needs to stop dividing the party at this time when we need unity more than at any other time. I would say he needs to take a page from Pete and Amy and support the party, but that'll never happen. So at the very least he needs to stop acting like any of this is about him anymore.

It isn't.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
