He has pushed the party left and has given us hope that the age of centrist democrats may be ending. Not with Biden, but soon now.

Also, more EV means more clout at the convention. Sanders will get to lay a few planks in the party platform.

His staying in gives the protest vote an honest outlet that ultimately keeps them in touch with the party this cycle.

I say he has earned the right to stay in the race.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
