I’m tired of the doom and gloom “bernie is losing, we’re failing him!” posts so listen up

ohmysmokeythebear:

A polical science lesson for y’all:

  • Bernie is not “falling behind” and we’re not “failing him”
  • In fact, posts like those are MORE likely to discourage voters and kill his momentum than encourage them
  • At this point in the race, it is NOT ABOUT THE DELEGATE COUNT, IT’S ABOUT MOMENTUM
  • who has a lot of momentum right now?? BERNIE. He has done FAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED while Hillary has done much WORSE than expected
  • like i said delegate counts don’t really matter much right now
  • BUT just so everyone knows, as of 2/24 Bernie and Hillary are TIED
  • They both have 51 delegates each
  • lots of news sites are saying hillary has a huge lead on bernie with delegates because they are assuming the superdelegates are with her but that’s all just speculation Not. Fact.
  • Super Tuesday (on March 1st) has a lot of southern states who will most likely favor Hillary but that’s ok because
  • ALL DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES AND CAUCUSES ARE PROPORTIONAL
  • YOUR VOTE ABSOLUTELY HAS IMPACT
  • even if hillary “wins” some states bernie will still get delegates and THAT’s what’s important!!!!
  • YES get out there and vote because it’s Super Important I Cannot Stress That Enough
  • but also know that it’s NOT doom and gloom, bernie ISN’T DOING BADLY AT ALL and we aren’t “failing him”
