That's another wink that after the convention, when he's done all he can, he'll pivot. He hasn't been attacking Hillary, and most of his political views I agree with. Weaver is a complete weasel. But Sanders himself has been much more reasonable since California, and even before that he was being much more reasonable. But all these threads attacking Sanders because of the Bernie-or-die people, I don't think it helps win over the moderate Sanders supporters when they see so many anti-Sanders threads.
I know you get it, but I think a lot of people here are still riding that emotional roller coaster from the primaries. I wish we could all just calm down a bit more.

So fight them in GDP if you want, but why obsess in the Hillary group over a nothing issue?

I've heard rumblings about dumping him at the convention, but I just don't see it happening
