And describes the Naderite Clinton- and Gore-haters of 2000 perfectly.

(19,348 posts)7. There is very little positive energy coming out of Bernie's campaign.
That is why I am NOT and NEVER will feel the "bern".

(2,577 posts)8. OMG. That is spot on
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.)
