Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumSo is it up to someone to make the final decision ?
Call the game? Bring down the flag? Stop the clock?
And if so, who would that be?

At the same time, it's upon us the voters to keep telling him no by delivering big wins for Biden until he makes that decision.

(13,258 posts)I thought when someone hit a certain number of delegates it was game over because there is a set total in numbers and once someone reaches like six out of ten, its numerically over. But youre saying that despite that, if a candidate wants to stay until the last person casts the last vote, its their right.
So if Gabbard wanted to do this with her 1%, she could as well? Honest, Im not being facetious, I truly dont know.

(5,052 posts)Personally, I both understand the reason why Bernie is staying in and at the same time, don't want him to stay in because of the division he cause.
First, until someone reaches 1991, no one is officially out. I fully understand that Bernie has close to no way to get the nomination right now. But I understand why someone holds the belief that they want everyone to be able to vote in the primary.
Secondly, the reason I don't want him to stay in is because of his message. His whole message is centered around how the "establishment" and "elites" left people behind. If he can somehow changes his message to point toward the real evil (Trump and the republican party), I would have no problem with anyone to stay in as long as they want. But as we all know, Bernie won't change that tune. So sadly, Bernie is the only person I don't want to stay in.
Lastly, there is no "party boss" or "establishment" to save us. If DNC or whoever you can think of do anything to stop Bernie, it would only legitimize the "establishment" attacks.
