From Here On Out, Bernie Owes it to Us to be Ruthless.

This is now a brand new primary, and we cannot give up.

After Super Tuesday, when all is said and done, it appears as though Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden will be close to a dead heat delegate wise once all have been allotted. With Warren now “assessing her campaign”, it appears this is rapidly becoming a two person race.

Now, this is a brand new primary.

There is no denying that Super Tuesday could not have gone much worse for Bernie Sanders, or much better for Joe Biden, but at the same time it’s also important to note that Bernie Sanders is still in an objectively much stronger position that he was in at this same point in 2016, and facing a much weaker opponent who is not prepared for the attention coming his way. While it may have felt like we got the wind knocked out of us in the days leading up to Super Tuesday and in to that night, it’s critical that none of us lose perspective. This is by no means over, and we owe it to Bernie not to give up at this critical moment in the campaign.

At the same time, Bernie owes it to us to be ruthless.

No more calling Joe Biden his friend. No more waiting to be attacked before bringing up his opponents record. No more playing nice with people who are doing everything they…
