Bernie supporters are the majority here. That is a fact!!!! We are damn well not silencing you.
Take a step back and think who are being silenced here. Women PoC LGBT BLM!!!!! Hide after hide, ridicule and disdain. No, it is our voice that is being silenced. I watch every day anti Democratic posts soar to the top of the page.
Yes, I am a Hillary supporter, yet I damn well will vote for Bernie or O'Malley if they win the general. I will VOTE!
