Far exceeding any initial expectations, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign has powerfully shaken the Democratic party and energized its base. Nevertheless, a good politician not only sees the way to victory but also knows when defeat is inevitable. Sanders’ campaign has defied the odds before, but the math almost entirely bars Sanders from the nomination. Consequently, his campaign only serves to sow further division in the party and make it more likely that presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump will win the general election. It is time for Bernie Sanders to drop out of the race.

Before the event even began, the Brandeis Pottery Club’s Japanese tea ceremony was a gentle respite from the hectic excitement of the Festival of the Arts.

Perhaps the most illuminating moment of Thursday’s Democratic debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was an argument — semantic, but significant — over the nature of progressivism itself. Sanders claims he is the only true progressive in the race. He backs up this claim by reminding voters that Bill Clinton’s administration — the successes of which Hillary has taken credit for on the campaign trail — took in lots of money from Wall Street and subsequently deregulated Wall Street, leading to the recent recession; that as a United States Senator, Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq War; that as Secretary of State, Clinton’s support for intervention in Libya demonstrates that she hasn’t learned from her mistake in 2002; and that most recently, now out of office for the first time in a quarter of a century, Clinton’s decision to accept massive speaking fees from Goldman Sachs and the like demonstrates that she hasn’t learned from her husband’s embrace of Wall Street. What Sanders and his supporters are saying boils down to this: Hillary Clinton, as a member of the Democratic Party’s inner circle — nebulously called “the establishment” — cannot possibly represent “progressive values” because too much of what needs to be done runs contrary to what the “establishment” has represented for the past quarter-century.

I am standing on the precipice of something great, you say. I am making the right decision, you say. My family won’t miss me, you say. Finally, the pain will go away. Suddenly, you are standing on the precipice of something, but it isn’t great. It is not the dream job or the relationship that will magically reset the clock on all past and failed relationships but instead you are gripping onto the edges of a very tall apartment building, aimed at throwing yourself over the railing and into the grimy abyss.
