The current electoral map for the dem primary

I think the reason progressives are all doom and gloom over this despite this not being a bad result all things considered is that just a week ago we were predicting that Bernie would win all but maybe three states in the primary.

But then the opposition to Bernie got smart, they put all their eggs in one basket at the last minute and that gamble paid off. They went from getting their asses handed to them right back to a position of dominance in about three days.

And now instead of the triumphant march where Bernie gets to win constantly we face a long war of attrition against an opponent with the full weight of the media and party establishment on his side, who represents the half of the democratic party that is stuck in the Reagan era neoliberal mindset.

theyre only a quarter of the way to the needed number. its not even close to being over yet.
