The reports of Burnie's death may have been greatly exaggerated, eh?

Sanders still intends to amass delegates for convention ‘influence,’
“I will stay on the ballot in all remaining states and continue to gather delegates,” the senator said while announcing the end of his presidential bid. “We must continue working to assemble as many delegates as possible at the Democratic convention where we will be able to exert significant influence over the party platform and other functions.”
Veteran New Hampshire state Sen. Lou D’Allesandro – a top Biden supporter – told Fox News that Sanders “should be supporting Biden and throwing his support to the former vice president.”
D’Allesandro noted that both Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has yet to endorse anyone since ending her presidential bid on March 5, “are both hanging out – so to speak – without throwing their full support behind the presumptive nominee.”
He worried this could become an issue going forward “because we need a united front and the sooner the better.”

@coldjoint,
I know it is. You rhetoric is merely tiresome. As well, or course, as nonsense.

@hightor,
Your vote can matter without going against a statewide quarantine--but at least you admit to siding with the Republican hierarchy in Wisconsin. You guys are soooo similar!
I'll always respect him for his integrity. Now, this isn't a criticism — he was one of the few politicians who could afford to be honest. He represented a small New England state which prizes independence and liberal values. It didn't hurt that he was an expatriate New Yorker — they're pretty common in the Green mountain state.
I always look forward to the next tragedy, whether if be a hurricane, a racist cop shooting some poor black perv, or whatever.
The ensuing pandemonium provides a perfect distraction, cover and excuse to bust out the windows of a liquor store and go hogwild looting, ya know?
Last week that lame-ass deputy sheriff asked me: "Layman, what are you doing in this pharmacy at 3 AM?"
I said: "Best leave me be, Barney, unless you want to die from the Kung Flu. I got it, and I got it bad. I had to bust in. The fools closed for the night and I need medicine now, caincha see?"
The fool hauled ass.

Correct. That's not a criticism, it's an observation.

@Lash,
So your output from here on out will be as it was previously... attacks on the Democratic Party and it's representative and attempts to persuade others that they should not vote Democrat.
I look forward to your posts on AOC and all other progressives who will be working hard to ensure that the GOP are removed from power.
No, actually the opposite. I don't want either of them elected, so what purpose to attack one more so than the other.
I'll just be giving my opinion occasionally. The great hope I had for meaningful change for the people in this country is over for now. I am, though, very happy to find a person that I respect to vote for.

@Lash,
Vote for some perv who talks about his clans in injun talk, trashes the U.S. constitution, and thinks the only issues are about race, gender, and class?
I don't think so! Homey don't play dat.

@Lash,
The injuns in this here country were beggin for a beatdown, and they got it. What else is new?
Quote:
“Chief Openchancanough and his warriors attacked the new settlements near Jamestown - Kecoughtan, Henrico, and Charles City - on Good Friday 1622. They came into the villages under the guise of peace and even pretended to sit down to eat with the white settlers; then, at a prearranged signal, the Indians launched the attack.
In the surprise raid, 350 settlers were slaughtered, including women and children; this was one-third of the English population in Virginia….after the conflict, they did not feel bound to try to be friends with the Indians and were more open to just taking their land.
The way I heard he thinks it will give his movement more of a chance of getting more of his agenda on the platform at the convention. Not sure how all that works. I don't think they should have a real convention in any case unless miraculously, it is safe enough to do so.
