[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a pretty staunch conservative, not a Bernie fan, but what they did to him is horrendous! The man might not share my values, but I can say that he is honest and passionate in his views, and I admire those things about him. He tried to run a fair campaign against some of the most dishonest people in the country.

If nothing else, I hope his run for presidency shakes up the system and forces necessary changes. [/quote]

I know it's a just A small sample size but I work with a lot of Bernie supporters. Everything the one of them is angry at what Bernie did, he should have donated that money to charity. I disagreed with Bernie I don't want to Key issues but I respected him. I do not respect him anymore[/quote]

It is easy to go overboard on this. I think most Bernie supporters share the long term goals of the Democratic party and will vote for the candidate mostly likely to actually sign legislation that Sanders himself would promote. For example, ACA is not perfect, but it is a hell of lot closer to providing coverage for all than anything the GOP would support.

For whatever reason, there is an especially noisy faction of Bernie supporters, especially online, who are playing a different game.  They seem to be more "anti-corporation" than  "pro-" anything that would realistically benefit the average worker.  The Democrats have never been and will never be "anti-corporation".

Hopefully after this week all of their grievances will have been aired and there can be a respectful parting of the ways.  I'd love  to see some of that energy going into building a new party from the ground up; forget Jill Stein, how about getting some mayors and city councilmen elected.[/quote]
