I've seen too many Sanders supporters throw hissy fits and threaten to stay home in the fall because Bernie didn't win the primary battle.
I might have been happier if the Democratic Party had a better candidate, but I think that a President Hillary Clinton is far preferable to having the Donald in the West Wing.
I think a lot of Sanders supporters need to grow up. We have already had the horrible experience of 8 years of Dubya. We have seen too many examples of Rethug government in the Red States and gerrymandering and voter restrictions that promise to make Democratic resurgence so in those places orders of magnitude harder. What the Rethugs in Congress want to do is even worse.
So of course the Sanders fan club wants to stay home in November, not vote, and polish their little tin halos.
If I were in Bernie's camp, I'd vote for Clinton and start planing for 2020 or 2024.
Put on your big girl panties and grow up.
PS put aside reading Breitbart and Drudge.
