Most definitely Bernie supporters ... and sadly quite a few DU'ers. So many were so nasty about Obama during his tenure that I cut back my visits to the site.

And I know a few personally. They don't want to endorse a candidate unless that person is 100% progressive on EVERY ISSUE. They would rather see a corrupt and awful right-winger in office than vote for someone who isn't "pure."

Personally, I want someone who is sharp and can get the job done. (Must be why I am posting now in the Hillary group.)
