So it's still early but, despite how I voted, the numbers more or less don't look great for Bernie rn. And I get like 2 people are going to see this tweet thread but this is important to me and that's more or less why I write anything, whether it be my tweets or my essaysPermalink On twitter.com

I did the right thing and voted for Bernie. Hopefully Bernie can still secure the clear majority of delegates after this because if he only has a plurality that's the same as losing given the DNC's anti-democratic tendenciesPermalink On twitter.com
