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”
