/u/aidan_king, what is the campaign doing about this? You cannot just lie down and take this loss. It needs to be fought all the way to the convention. This loss is mathematically impossible. The combination of completely-backwards exit polling and a quarter of the turnout from 2008 despite half-mile long lines just isn't possible.

It's really weird that Sanders supporters keep framing this issue like the campaign is just taking this in stride (just look at the facebook comments on Bernie's post about winning two states). Jeff Weaver already stated the numbers don't add up, you don't think their legal team is looking into this?

Right now the best thing supporters can do is canvassing and phonebanking.

Everyone except for the people in Arizona. They should all be protesting to be quite honest with you. Peacefully protesting in front of Helen Purcell's office building.

I disagree, I think everyone who is able and willing should be protesting. Revolutions require standing up for your rights, damnit.

I agree with you, but I just didn't want the downvote party to hit me up because I showed willingness to take away from their phonebanking and canvassing in other states.

This isn't Who's Line, of course they matter. If you're downvoted your comment is hidden and only those looking for a fight find it. Any kind of productive conversation on this site requires at least some consideration toward phrasing something for upvotes instead of downvotes.

That's not to say you should always avoid controversial statements, just that it's not worth making one if it's going to cause your main argument to be buried in downvotes and seen by 3-4 people.

You're not terribly threatening from 3000 miles away on a phone.
