save lives.

Besides, Sanders is not a "Democratic party member."

and give the money to down-ballot states and or candidates. Kentucky for example.

Let Sanders complain. Sore losers gonna sore.

Oooo Oooo Oooo the Biden supporters are being so cruel to poor Bernie!

*Alert*Alert*Alert*

behavior saw clear signs on where we are now.

He’s done this before, so we all know what he’s up to.

Please let the DNC make a statement on this.

Same 💩. Actually, slightly ≠: Bunie got the agreement last time, but raised zero for down ticket. How many ways can this guy 🔩 us before we acknowledge it?

It was a colossal mistake to let him run as a Democrat.

...rather than his own selfish political ambitions would be part of the movement to beat Donald Trump. However, it is increasingly clear that if Bernie cannot be the nominee, he wants to hobble Democrats as payback. He can be as petty and vindictive as Donald Trump. Narcissism is not restricted to Republicans.

I hope his supporters would see it one day

...after "progressive" candidates lost their asses, FDR said “We have on the positive side eliminated Phil La Follette and the Farmer-Labor people in the Northwest as a standing Third Party Threat.”

This is kind of how I feel about the Bernie "revolution" right now. His actions will set back his and future movements like his.

Elizabeth Warren had it right. The Augean Stables get cleaned out from the inside, not from the outside.

Sanders and everything he claims he is in remaining primaries. The majority of democrats want him out so that Biden can get on with the business of facing Trump. If Sanders doesn't drop out, I predict that Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island voters batter him when those primaries are held. He is going to see South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi losing margins in states where he was once favored.

After Sanders was trounced in Michigan and all but one March 10th primary, his backers said give him a one on one debate with Joe Biden and then the March 17th primaries. After Sanders was crushed in the debate and the March 17 primaries, his supporters have no legitament justification for prolonging this primary, other than to cause anarchy.

I don't see Biden's campaign being in limbo.

an obstacle to beating Trump.

Understood, coronavirus and all that, but the inevitable delegate majority for Biden is just being delayed, pushed closer to the convention. Assuming, of course, that the convention date is not moving, yet.

If the convention is held on schedule, there's still plenty of time to re-kindle the Biden machine to compete with the Repubs.

There's nothing preventing the DNC from collecting money now, and using it for competitive House and Senate seats, and for Governors' mansions.

but it's the nominee or the presumptive nominee that gets to release the funds, because when they become the presumptive nominee, they become the de fact leaders of the party. In 2016, that was a huge issue because of Senator Sanders conceding so late, and he refused to fundraise for down-ticket races in general to boot. He only fundraised for a select few candidates whom he deemed pure enough, and who had endorsed him. That is part of the reason why 2018 was a much more successful election down-ticket than 2016, though not the only reason, of course.

And move on. It's time to stop being afraid of 'optics'. If we don't we'll have 4 more years.

And I’m now for Obama coming out and endorsing Biden. At first, I was thinking he should wait until we have a nominee, but no more. Of course, it’s his decision and I’ll respect whatever path he takes.

There's no reason to spend another dime on anti-Sanders advertising, just focus on Trump.
