Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Sanders say there is a path to win the nomination [View all]The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,674 posts)79. So what is his motive?
538 gives him exactly ZERO chance of winning the nomination. His candidacy has been soundly rejected by a significant majority of Democrats, and there is no possibility that would change if additional primaries were held, or that he has enough support to "force" the DNC to adopt his platform or even parts of it. Under these circumstances, is there any rational reason for him not to drop out? Is he just trying to keep raising money to be used in his next Senate campaign, in which he will not even be running as a Democrat (again)? Why? If you don't want people to assume a malign motivation, please provide a rational one that benefits someone besides Bernie.

Punishing all Democrats because we won't support him, he's trying to ensure Biden's loss to drumpf.

Sandes says there is a path, and then... he stops. He is mum about what that path is.
