Bernie Sanders Wants New York To Hold Its Primary!

Bernie Sanders still wants to be on the ballot.

New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo had suspended the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries due to the coronavirus. Donald J. Trump has enough delegates to be the Republican nominee. Biden so far has 1459 delegates and Sanders has 983 delegates.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is riled up about the decision. He had suspended his campaign and his former rival Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee.

"This is an outrage, an assault on democracy and must not be allowed to stand," Sanders said.

Cuomo's state contributes to one of the highest amount of COVID-19 cases in the country.

Sanders claims that the state suspending its presidential primary will rob him of delegates. Again, I thought he quit the race. He wants to have more leeway when it comes to pushing a progressive platform.

Sanders, asserts that by taking the move to suspend rather than end his campaign, it gives his "utterly annoying" supporters the ability to cast their votes.

Former Democratic candidate Andrew Yang wants to be on the ballot too.

"No one asked New York to cancel the election," said Sanders. "The DNC did not request it. The Biden campaign did not request it. And our campaign communicated, very strongly, that we wanted to remain on the ballot."

Now he wants the DNC to strip New York of its delegates when it comes to the "postponed" convention. It's still up in the air if the DNC will host in Milwaukee and the RNC in Charlotte.

Another former candidate, Andrew Yang also called the move disgraceful.

He and Sanders have threatened a lawsuit with the New York State Board of Elections.

Sanders agreed and sponsored the new rules for the DNC. If no candidate manages to obtain the necessary delegates to win the nomination, the superdelegates could then vote and impose their decision.

They call the move "voter suppression."

So in case you're wondering, if Cuomo and the state legislature pass a mail-in ballot law in which they can distribute the ballots to 22 million New Yorkers, then they can cast their ballots. However, it cost money and Cuomo is more concerned about his citizens than Sanders and Yang's whining.

Over 25,000 New Yorkers died from the coronavirus. New York is no where close to normalcy.

Not gonna be lectured about how my state runs its primaries.

Biden is leading in the New York primary against Sanders. The poll so far has Biden at 65%  to Sanders 30%.

He added in his remarks.

"At a time when all of us, including Joe Biden, are deeply concerned about Donald Trump's attacks on our democracy, we must fight back against this action in New York state. If states violate the DNC party rules regarding delegate selection, they can lose their ability to send delegates to the convention."

The state can still hold its local, state and U.S. Congressional primaries just in case you're not aware.

Sanders' supporters are assholes. Plain and simple. They're the most dumbest bunch of idiots to ever exist in the Democratic Party. Sanders is not popular in the Deep South nor the Midwest. He was trounced in states he had carried in 2016.

He lost most of the states he carried in 2016. He had more money than Biden and yet complains about how Biden is getting "billionaire donors" funding his campaign.

Sanders doesn't deny that he has benefited from the Russian Active Measures. It was noted that in November 2019, he was notified that Russia is actively meddling in the Democratic primaries. It didn't become news until February.

And this Alexandra Tara Reade McCabe Moulton nonsense. The remnants of Sanders supporters, far-anarchy and the far-white have pushed the allegations into the mainstream.

Again, I am skeptical of this woman. She has a right to tell her story but we need to know a little more than a handful of people who now remember her talking about the allegations.

Biden flatly denies sexually assaulting this woman. More on this controversy in the later postings.

Hot 97 interview Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). She is facing a challenge from the left and a moderate in a safe congressional district. Her support for Sanders and her fellow lawmaker Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have frustrated constituents with their attacks on Democrats. Now I still have both women and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) clear favorites in their primaries but I won't be surprised if any of these opponents say that The Squad and Bernie Sanders are "out of touch" with the constituents they represent.
