okay guys for fuck’s sake. no, bernie didn’t completely drop out, as in, his name will still remain on ballots in upcoming primaries, HOWEVER, he is NOT still running to become the nominee and he’s given that title to biden, saying,

“And, on a practical note, let me also say this: I will stay on the ballot in all remaining states and continue to gather delegates. While Vice President Biden will be the nominee, we should still work to assemble as many delegates as possible at the Democratic convention where we will be able to exert significant influence over the party platform and other functions.”

he’s ONLY still remaining on ballots to secure delegates for the dnc. you can still vote for bernie in upcoming primaries!!! but he’s not in the race to become the democratic nominee anymore.

sorry for the washington post source but it’s the only place i can find the full livestream on youtube right now. skip to 19:33 where he explains that he is no longer running for the nomination, and why he’s suspending his campaign. the quoted text above starts after 22:24 after he congratulates biden.

so, basically, DON’T believe sources that claim that bernie has completely dropped out and will no longer be on any ballots, HOWEVER don’t believe any misinformation that claims that he’s still running for the nomination either.

also fuck joe biden lmao
