accused of not caring if millions needlessly die by the Medicare for All people. Seen that a lot.

Even if Sanders had conceded, Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race and people are voting in these primaries on other down ballot issues also. Sanders was calling on the primaries to be delayed, Biden and his camp wanted the primaries to continue and were the ones fighting the hardest to try and persuade the Governors of the late primary states to keep the polls open, even ignoring the CDC recommendations to avoid large gatherings.

And the fact that Gabbard is "still in the race" is virtually irrelevant since she's getting about 0.5% of the vote.

'Cmon man!

I will say that because he has no path to victory. I will vote for Biden. But I do not believe Sanders was endangering the lives of anyone by calling for a delay in voting or remaining in the race up till this point. That is not fair. That tweet was representative of the kind of crap that Sanders has had to deal with all along. People attacking his character and even some people trying to tie him with Trump. Not you George but others. And to be clear I did not have a problem with your post just the tweet itself.

and it is not meant to flame, but, if a person wants to run for President of our country. And something comes up during the campaign, and said person would like to just stop all, and lets wait. I would wonder how that person would react if they were President.
These are the times in history when we choose leaders. Every state could easily do mail voting. But that wouldn't give us the instant results we and the media have learned to crave. But it would be safer and every citizen could vote. Just a thought.
