Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: To those who STILL support Sanders: as I have previously posted, I agree with much [View all]whopis01
(3,501 posts)It will not make you correct.
The Democratic Primary is not determined by who wins a majority of the contests. It is determined by who wins the required number of delegates. And those delegates are not allotted in a winner take all fashion, as if it were a game of baseball.
I see you are now trying to turn the argument in a different direction. I had only asked about the percentages that you were putting out there. I never suggested that Sanders would "receive any greater share in future contests". I also never suggested that there was any point to "playing out the string".
Your attempt to make it appear as if I was, and suggesting that I may "disregard clear and obvious facts of the situation" is a weak attempt at best. You are merely substituting a different argument and declaring yourself the winner.
To be clear, so that you may understand fully, I never said that Sanders was likely to a greater percentage of delegates in future contests. Nor did I say that there was any doubt that Biden would be the Democratic nomination. Nor have I said that Sanders should stay in the race. Furthermore I am not disjointed by any of those fact, never having been a supporter of Sanders. Biden, in my opinion, is a far better choice of a candidate.
Feel free to have the last word.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
