1. I thought the primaries were over.

And that Bernie lost.

And that Hillary won by over 2 million votes.

Why is Bernie still such a target? Because he's outspoken and is still fighting? Meanwhile, they fawn over Hillary, who conceded and is living the private citizen life without much fight at all. That's perfectly fine of her to do of course, and I'm not judging.

But why fight Bernie? I cannot understand it.

4. They are trapped in the second stage of grieving, which is anger.

That's very sad for them and does nothing to help make things better.

The hatred is palpable.
Apparently it's all Bernie's fault that we are even discussing Obama's upcoming $400,000 speech.
I've got my shit jumped big time. Sickening.
I remember when this place didn't tilt that direction.

and criticizing them is like spitting on the graves of the 9/11 dead.

Rudy would be proud!

is apparently the new cry. Trump said he could shoot somebody and not lose any votes -- the same disease afflicts too many in the Democratic Party.

If you criticize an investment bank, it couldn't possibly be because you disagree with them or think the finance sector has too much influence or anything like that--it's because you're being a meanie to Obama!

What's with all that stuff? People around here act like Bernie should just sing hosannas about the Dems non-stop (especially when it comes to Hillary) and if he doesn't, then he's being "divisive." Meanwhile, they get to trash the Bern to their heart's content and heaven forbid you try to call them on their stuff. I inadvertently managed to get a thread out there locked a while back because I started defending Bernie on it.

very long time. Since W was President in fact. Once a Dem was in office it was time to shut it down and get in.

Usually this kind of probe would be denounced by every Dem for it's obvious effort to silence Bernie Sanders, whose been one of Trump's fiercest critics.

But here? Nah, the haters seize on it gleefully instead of condemning this ugly attempt to silence him.

Pretty sick
