Related: About this forumAn open letter to the Bernie or Bust movement from the Democratic party!
....And that ultimately is the point of your Bernie or Bust movement. You don't care. You've proven this by supporting a single candidate and nobody else. You don't care that there's an equally inspirational figure for millions of Americans who is fighting for the exact same issues your candidate is and has been a candidate that has been mercilessly attacked for the sole reason that she is a strong, independent woman. You don't care that the election of a Republican president will mean the loss of healthcare for 20 million Americans. You don't care that the election of a Republican president will potentially remove 11 million of our friends, neighbors, and colleagues from this country. You don't care that a conservative-led Supreme Court would rule against women's health, voting rights, and unions. These are all issues that mean nothing to you. All that matters to you is the fact that your guy didn't win.

OP
I agree. If you aren't completely besotted with Bernie, it is very unattractive to watch.

Do What You Want: An Open Letter to the Bernie or Bust Movement on Behalf of the Democratic Party

That part, though, that is excerpted.. Can you imagine Hillary having said that in 2008.. she would only support Sen Obama "If her conditions are met.."?! Especially when they're very similar like Hillary's was to Obama's and are to BS' positions now?
I think this is sanders on his endless power trippin'.. to keep those $$$$$$ coming in when he goes back to the Senate. He needs to stay relevant even though we can very well carry on without his denigrating the Democratic Party.

Despite Bernie Sanders' recent willingness to support Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee if certain conditions are met, a number of you have continued your stance to support Sanders and Sanders alone

One has them both, the other appears ago driven.

He may take some of his Millennials into the wilderness with him, but he is losing many more Democrats who though he was a good guy at one time. And now he will not only be tolerated by his fellow law makers he will be hated like Ted Cruz.
