As much as some hate it, Sanders did and was going to receive millions of votes. Like you said, he just needs to drop out. But just trying to end it with Biden supporters saying it's over, as true as it is, will only be divisive. And I know some on here don't care, or enjoy refighting the 2016 primary, but we need to find ways to bring as many voters as we can into the fold to get rid of the asshole. Leting the remaining states vote - in some way- would be a step toward that.

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