Mainstream media completely lying and covering up the disunity among the democrats.

Well unfortunately tonight was proof that Bernie is just another puppet for the the system...I am embarrassed that I ever supported such a spineless candidate. At his age, he had nothing to lose by telling Clinton to go fuck herself but he decided to fall in like and be a good boy, just like the establishment wanted.

I don't care about Bernie's endorsement of H. I even understand his honorable motivations. And yet, voting for H is an anathema for me, for reasons of her lack of sound policy, judgment and integrity. Yet I truly think that a Trump administration would be worse. I am torn.

I just heard that President Obama has declared Wikileaks a terrorist group ---- maybe for showing us some truths about our political system? We must look into this further --- Information may be a huge threat to the coronation. ‪#‎NeverHillary‬

Oh, and Nina Turner got kicked out of the DNC convention for not towing the line for them.

I'm still unable to find anyone that can tell me how someone Bernie said just 3 months ago wasn't qualified to do the job has done in that short period of time for him to determine she's now capable.

I'm torn how anyone could ever vote for Bernie other than the entitlement minded folks that think someone else should provide for them what they should be providing for themselves.

Yeah, but Bernie was perceived as being a man of principle---whether you agree with his principles is another thing. I'd never vote for him but I was a fan in that respect.

He flat sold out to the eDemocrats.

It's not a sell-out. Politics is a practical business, and elections are about winning & losing.

He put up a good fight, and lost. Now, he's acting like the leader & statesmen he is, who realizes that the future of SCOTUS as well as other progressive issues that he & his supporters hold dear are all on the line. It would be egotistical and unprincipled if he did NOT support Hillary.

i think bernie just got tired of it. I mean he had to swim upstream the whole time while fighting the entire democratic party. So in the end he just gave up.

I don't think, that when it comes to elections, that many conservatives understand our first past the post system.

I suppose it was too much to ask Cruz and Kasich to act like statesmen and support the candidate that beat them fair and square.

I'm sure that's different lol.

Nader was supposedly "principled," and we got the Iraq War as a result.

So, there's that. If you're a progressive, like Bernie, and you undermine Hillary, you get to watch SCOTUS erode freedoms & equality that people you love have fought tooth & nail for over decades.

Certainly gives the idea of "principle" a bit more complexity than you're portraying.

If you want to piss off a progressive tell them not to let the perfect get in the way of the good. The most frustrating aspect of dealing with the progressive left is the same as with the reactionary right. Their unwillingness or inability to see things from other peoples point of view and to be able to compromise to get most or much of what you want. It's either all or nothing and what happened in 2000 is a perfect example.

Spot on. If no one ever compromised, I don't even want to think about where we'd be as a nation.

Didn't you applaud Cruz for not endorsing Trump? I know many here did. I don't understand the change of heart.
