Pete Buttigieg has declared an end to his bid for the Democratic nomination, citing an unwillingness to stand in the way of a Bernie Sanders presidency.

In a tearful address, Buttigieg urged his supporters to throw their full support (financial and otherwise) behind the Bernie Sanders campaign and embrace socialism as the way of the future.

With a final, choking sob, the former Indiana mayor endorsed open borders, Medicare For All, and the gulaging of Trump supporters.

“Please…” he was heard to utter weakly, shortly before the mike was cut, “I’ve done everything you asked. Now tell the Bros to let Chasten go.”
