I honestly don't think some of the Bernie supporters realize how PISSED many Democrats are at him. He USED our party (assuming you're a Democrat), damaged our candidate, waited FAR too long to suspend his campaign and really didn't do much for Hillary at all. If we wants to run, fine - let him do under the banner of HIS party and run independent.
