Why Bernie shouldn't drop out.

Seeing so many saying that Bernie to drop out I feel the need to state why he shouldn't.

First, Hillary Clinton didn't drop out 8 years ago. Why should Bernie?

Second, Bernie is bringing up very important issues that would otherwise be ignored. He needs to continue to do so.

Third, Bernie is bringing new voters in and garnering more enthusiasm than any other candidate.

I voted for Bernie yesterday and am saddened by his loss. And even if he doesn't win the nomination, he has been successful in so many other ways. That's why he needs to stay in.

... but, this is no longer a race for the nomination.

Sanders can continue to garner as many votes as possible and provide a real progressive influence at the convention.

But, he needs soften his rhetoric and refrain from bullshitting his supporters.

His legacy will depend on it.
