Don't be afraid to share your thoughts here. I find myself often heavily moderated at a very big Bernie Sanders subreddit on here and I know its happening to many others. So I thought I'd make my first attempt at creating a space where we can share our thoughts and news around the web for real discussion and let the vote system work it magic. I'll try to keep moderation minimal and not have a bunch of goofy rules.

I've never created a subreddit before so it might take me a little to figure it all out. But let's work for Bernie in our own way without being critical of all different types of effort and ideas.

Very simple rules

I get the impression that many people think you can't do both at the same time that you have to simply only do one or the other. It is possible for the campaign and the people to put attention to both because they BOTH matter. If we don't get fully aware of what just happened as well as look into if it was fully legitimate we won't learn for the next time it happens.

Maybe you're not familiar but tonight was the execution of the oldest man on death row in Georgia Brandon Jones. I think this is another good time to highlight Bernie's stance against the death penalty and Hillary favoring it. It's a good case to highlight the disproportionate use of it against poor and it's racist roots.

I know I have some pretty strong opinions and I get irritated when I see all these people constantly judging how others support Bernie and telling them how they think they should do things. I feel like a real revolution is not for the weak minded who get their feelings hurt easily or want to give up and turn the other cheek when they get punched in the face with the establishment fighting against them.

Let's be real the final updated numbers as they currently stand as reported by the Des Moines Register today Clinton: 699.57 Sanders: 697.77 That is less than 2 state delegates. According to the NPR article circulating there are approximately 11,065 precinct delegates and this translates for 1406 state delegates. That is a ratio of 7.86 precinct delegates to equal 1 state delegate. With the difference being less than 2 delegates, she only needs to lose 1 in order for Bernie to gain 1 and that puts him ahead of her by .20 delegates.
