Go Bernie!

We need to push him over the top and down their throats.

Make them openly wear the socialism they have been cloaking all these years.

Crazy Bernie came out of both debates unscathed. Even the all out attack by the Deep State Media in the last few weeks doesn’t seem to have had any effect.

What a delightful mess!

Cast your vote based on the 15% rule. The democrats changed their primary systems to proportional voting after the last election. So every candidate gets delegates based on their percentage. They put in a floor of 15%. To get delegates they must have at least 15% of the vote. My theory is that we want a contested convention with as many candidates as possible with delegates. If we vote for the candidate polling nearest to 15% in our state before the primary we can keep as many of them alive as long as possible. I say nearest to 15% because all polls have a margin of error. So a candidate polling 16.5% might only get 14.9% of the vote and fail to get delegates. By keeping as many of these losers alive as possible, hopefully all the way to the convention, we create disunity and distrust. Imagine if we could keep six candidates viable, Crazy Bernie, Mayor Pete, Liawatha, Bite Me, Klobuchar and mini-mike. The convention goes to a second or third vote. Deals get made, hopefully, several of them get screwed over. Disunity and an even bigger victory in November.

My district in Texas has no primary races of interest to me therefore I can indulge in this. By all means though if you have a chance to vote against the GOPe in the primary that is where you need to cast your ballot

I quickly looked at the results on 538 and the following would be closest to 15% in each state:
MA - Mayor Pete
SC - Steyer
TX - Warren

"Go Bernie! We need to push him over the top and down their throats."

I think you're crazy to help put Sanders as the nominee. Sanders is totally crazy anti American, a total nightmare. Weirder things have happened in the past. Look at the Kennedys as an example. We do not want some event out of our control to have a chance of getting Sanders in office.

“We need to push him over the top and down their throats.”

I would be careful about this. There were a lot of leftists voting in the 2016 primary for PDJT, under the theory that they were making a smart, strategic move. I think a lot of their current insanity can be attributed to the reality of that move. If Sanders were to get in, I would not want that on my conscience.
