you think Bernie Sanders has a shot? | Page 28 | The Compost Bin | Forums

5 reasons why Bernie should stay in the race

1. He could still win

While Sanders is down 1147 to 830 in the pledged delegates, it's not outside the realm of possibility for him to stage a comeback. As long as it’s mathematically possible to win, he should stay in the race.

2. Young people deserve an opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice

So far in this campaign, Sanders has dominated the youth vote.

Running against Barack Obama in 2008, Hillary Clinton did not drop out until June.
Young people love him. They trust him. They get him. That's why he has received 1.54 million votes from people under 30 and Clinton has only received 625,000. It's not even close. In fact, Bernie has received 300,000 more youth votes than Clinton and Donald Trump combined.

Young people deserve to have a chance to vote for their clear candidate of choice.

3. Half of the country still hasn't had a chance to vote yet

While it may be expedient for the Clinton campaign for Sanders to drop out, nearly half of our country—including states like New York and California—haven't voted yet. They deserve to have a voice in who they want to see in this race. Maybe they'll choose Clinton, but they could choose Sanders and should not be denied this opportunity.

In fact, Sanders is polling very well in the remaining states.

4. Sanders changes the dialogue and issues in this race

Clinton is not a natural progressive or liberal. She has openly claimed to be a moderate most of her adult life. Having Sanders in this campaign has forced her to swing to the left on issues that matter. It's a lot of those issues that engage and excite voters.

5. It's what the establishment wants him to do

The bottom line is that it is primarily establishment politicians and corporate lobbyists who want Sanders to drop out. That alone should raise our suspicions. They never wanted him to win in the first place.
