Bernie Sanders just suspended his presidential campaign. This essentially paves the way for Joe Biden to grab the Democratic nomination. That being said, musicians are expressing their concerns on social media.
While some are simply lamenting the fact that four more years of Donald Trump may be more likely, others are thanking Sanders for everything he has accomplished and attempted thus far.

Unfortunately, the Vermont senator suspended his campaign Wednesday. Sanders announced the news on Twitter.
Today I am suspending my campaign. But while the campaign ends, the struggle for justice continues on.

Bernie Sanders has done so much for politics and the seeds he’s planted will eventually sprout and one day make the world a better place.

we need a revolution. we need it to ensure the security of the majority of Americans. we need many options to get there and maybe a full takeover of the democratic party isn’t the way.
— Brandon Pagano (@brandonpagano) April 8, 2020
Love you @BernieSanders thank you for the seeds you’ve planted.

While Sanders suspending his presidential campaign is heartbreaking, it is still important to register to vote and participate in democracy in order to create change. Sanders is still working to gather delegates and will stay on the ballots of remaining states.
“I will stay on the ballot in all remaining states and continue to gather delegates… We must continue working to assemble as many delegates as possible at the Democratic Convention, where we will be able to exert significant functions.”

If you care about a generation of Supreme Court justices, women’s rights, climate change, sensible gun policies, if you care about any issue you’ve denounced trump for over the past 4 years, you will understand why we can’t afford 4 more years of this guy. Period.

In the midst of a lot of sadness and anger what I know for sure is this:
I’m still willing to fight for someone I don’t know.

Vote blue no matter who, but I’m very disappointed. Learn something from this America. 2020 really isn’t that girl.

Bernie Sanders is an American hero. We must all do our part to see that his message becomes woven into the fabric of every single campaign in the next decade. Yes, we need to defeat the Trump cult but we must also fill down-ticket races with DSA candidates for the good of all. https://t.co/9Mm5ImVlJX

If Donald Trump wins in November, there will be two more ultra conservative judges appointed to the Supreme Court. Justices are there for life.
That’s what this election is about. Don’t be a fucking snowflake.

Please remember that just like Sanders’ campaign, things can start small and snowball into something much greater. Vote in your local elections, appoint delegates that you want to represent you and those you care about. With Sanders out, it may seem pointless to vote. However, that is the only way to let your voice be heard and support the ideas that you want to be implemented in the future.
