Bernie's concession speech
I congratulate Secretary Clinton on her victories tonight, and I look forward to issue-oriented campaigns in the 14 contests to come.
I am proud that we were able to win a resounding victory tonight in Rhode Island, the one state with an open primary where independents had a say in the outcome. Democrats should recognize that the ticket with the best chance of winning this November must attract support from independents as well as Democrats. I am proud of my campaign’s record in that regard.
The people in every state in this country should have the right to determine who they want as president and what the agenda of the Democratic Party should be. That’s why we are in this race until the last vote is cast. That is why this campaign is going to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia with as many delegates as possible to fight for a progressive party platform that calls for a $15 an hour minimum wage, an end to our disastrous trade policies, a Medicare-for-all health care system, breaking up Wall Street financial institutions, ending fracking in our country, making public colleges and universities tuition free and passing a carbon tax so we can effectively address the planetary crisis of climate change.

Obama won in 2012 despite losing independents by about 5 points nationally (about 10 points in Ohio).. John Kerry won independents by about 1 point in 2004 and lost.
Why should independents have a say in a party they aren't a part of? This is the Democratic Party. The party of Democrats. Democrats should decide who their nominee is, not people who don't associate with the party. If those independents want a say in it, then they should register as Democrats by the required deadlines.
except in my state we don't register for any party when we vote. I'm glad about that. screw the parties. what do you do about states like mine which don't "register"??
