You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here

People should know when they are conquered.

You would be forgiven if, like most of the country, you forgot that a Democratic primary was in progress. The last debate seems to have played out about 5 years ago. But in this new bizarro world, it has only been 21 days. Three weeks ago. An audience-free debate that saw Biden and Bernie awkwardly  bump elbows. It was weird then. It's down right ridiculous now.

It's also ridiculous that there was a debate at all. Sure, technically, there is a path to the nomination for Bernie. But is it likely? No. Yet, Bernie persists. His surrogates continue to light up Twitter with negative post about Biden. I'm not sure what they're ultimate goal is, but they don't seem concerned with the consequences. Bernie is not a Democrat. He's an Independent. Much has been written about his "revolution" to remake the Democratic party. It's bullshit. The type of change he proposes doesn't happen over one election cycle - much less a generation. But you can't tell Bernie Bros this. It's all or nothing with them. If it's not Bernie, then it can't be Biden either. What does that leave us? Another 4 years of Cheeto the Impeached. That's not revolution. That's destruction.

Bernie lost, period. He failed to convince people in his cause and he failed to bring out people to vote for him. Where it counted, he lost big. Super Tuesday, a mere one month ago, was a disaster for him. The results validated Biden's continued optimism following his dismal results in the initial primaries. The results also exposed the scam in the "movement" that Bernie and his supporters have been pushing since 2016.

He lost. There is no point. Especially now, in this new world, where Cheeto the Impeached cluster-fucks the country and Biden carries on from, presumably some underground and undisclosed location, as the only viable option. Bernie should continue with his day job as a senator. The people of Vermont will ultimately decide his fate.

Dear Bernie,
Just exit. Throw your support behind Biden. You say he's your friend. Tell your Bernie Bros to support your friend. Remind them that now is the time.
