I'm very sad that my home state may have just stolen the nomination from Bernie.

I'm usually very optimistic after these primaries, but if Bernie doesn't win the nomination, I'm disappointed that my state may have played a big part in that loss. (Pennsylvania)

Look at NY, AZ, and many others that proved corrupt. The system is rigged, and no one is going to do anything about it. Get use to it.

CT lost too. This is a race were neither one will cross the finish line. We are going to the convention to make our case. Anything can happen from now until the last day of the convention. Maybe you can feel good about winning your district? Casting your vote for Bernie is also an amazing thing all by itself.

was my disappointment but I'm sure that there were a lot of Independents in Pittsburgh who would have voted for Bernie so that helps the sting a little.

The state I live in now is also a closed primary.

Bernie won most of NY State. It's not our states. It's the corrupt establishment in the Democratic Party.

This isn't the time to feel bad or sad.

It's the time to be MAD!

(I know, it's starting to sound like Dr. Seuss)..

Let's unite and win this thing.

It's our country, it's our future, it's the planet.

There is no planet B!

Who's with me????

to the mind-numbing roar of the coincidence theorists shrieking that this is all on the up and up. sure, it's just a coincidence clinton wins wherever electronic voting machines are used; it's also a coincidence that sanders wins whenever paper ballots are used. sure it's a coincidence that exit polls serve as the international standard for testing election manipulation, but don't apply when sanders is one of the contestants. sure it's a coincidence that virtually every instance of broad-scale voting skulduggery favors clinton. all those companies and countries that donated massive amounts to the clinton foundation while clinton was secretary of state, and got desired outcomes on all manner of arms sales and other deals...that's a coincidence too. just because it's made to look different in each individual case, don't believe a word of it. we may not be able to prevent them from scamming the whole primary, but we don't have to cosign on their deliberately fictional story line.
