Sanders Drops Out
Yeah, not much to say right this moment. I think this is a mistake, there’s

made it in (though, obviously the odds were against him.) I suspect part of
his reasoning is that, unlike Biden, he wasn’t willing to urge […]

On
a practical note, let me also say this: I will stay on the ballot in
