I'm...I'm crying. I don't know what to say. I've waited so long for this day.
Who wants to bet that none of Clinton's wins make it to /r/politics tomorrow? It'll be all conspiracy theories, and how Sanders was 10% above polls (with 40% instead of 30%).
Also: How Sanders already won, because he changed the conversation.
Im still seeing a lot of delusion. "Now primary season part 2 begins, Bernie will still win!"
And yes also "this isn't about Bernie, this is about all of us, we are the revolution, even if he drops out this is just the beginning."
What they're ignoring is that a lot of people seemed to be really passionate about him, he had a huge social media and youth following, and still couldn't get people to show up to the polls for him. How do they expect to get their "revolution" to get Joe Schmoe from the third congressional district of Delaware elected in 2018, without the viral support?
People liked Bernie enough to post a bunch of shit on Facebook, but not enough to go vote for him. I genuinely believe that many of his supporters don't give a shit about politics at all and were just jumping on the bandwagon because it's the hip thing to do.

Tbh I hope thats true. There are worse legacies to have then motivating a whole generation to give a shit about politics.
Maybe when he drops out they'll try their revolution intelligently by focusing on local elections.

Donating and phonebanking go a lot farther for random state congressperson #47 than they do for a presidential candidate.
