84 Yr old socialist who counts Bernie as a hero: Time for you to quit

I am an 84-year-old Socialist from Brooklyn. You have been a hero to me for many years. I am amazed by what you have accomplished. You have succeeded in moving presumptive presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party to the left. You created a movement that has involved young voters. You set goals for our government to reach for. The whole world knows who “Bernie” is and what his beliefs are.

But movements seldom succeed in their first election. The differences between the Democratic and Republican parties are wider than ever before.

Donald Trump is not capable of being our president. Clinton is clearly better prepared to lead the country both in foreign affairs and domestic issues. Please, Bernie, do what is right and needed for our country. Put your support behind Clinton now to defeat this dangerous demagogue.

They are in the process of deciding next steps, but NO final decisions will be made until after DC votes on Tuesday.

He made a commitment to campaign in every state until the last vote was counted. That's what he's doing.

When you've been told "I won't be announcing anything until next week", it's just plain silly to keep whining about the absence of an announcement this week.

Denouncing him for a decision that has yet to be made is premature. Cool your jets. There will be plenty of time to applaud or lambaste him when he announces the course he is taking.
