because the Bernie supporters clearly do not respect that it is HER TURN and it is wrong for us to question that it is Hillary's divine right to be president.

It's just reality that she has more votes, pledged delegates and Supers.

The only thing that irks me is the fundraising Bernie and his supporters do when he says he has a viable path, when he doesn't. I think that's disgusting.

I mean, they won't call them "insane" or "childish," right?

Because I think it's insane and childish to vote for someone under a criminal investigation who doesn't even come close to representing your interests.

acting like they should stop being mean or else you won't vote for Hillary is just whining.

Many Sanders voters want their cake and to eat it too - they don't want to vote for HRC but they don't want to be criticized for it either, and when criticized they blame HRC supporters for not voting for her, even when they point out willingly that they would never have voted for her.

damned street. That was the mildest, most sleep-inducing "harassment" I've ever seen and was far more an example of two older women valiantly trying to understand what the end game is for Sanders supporters than anything else.

Nobody even barely raised their voices. At this point, the desperate attempts by Sanders supporters to deflect to the alleged horrible behavior of Clinton supporters consists primarily of Wendell Pierce, posting videos of people talking to one another and trolly Facebook posts from four months ago. Classic.

Just wow.

This is a class war, too, obviously. The HRC supporters feel terribly superior to the Sanders supporters there. And they are rude and mean.

Just like HRC.

There was no reason for them to be there. They walked up to the Bernie supporters' table ONLY to talk shit.

Not too surprising really. We've been observing for months how these people act on Facebook and Twitter.

she needs to renounce this behavior pronto. I even heard one of her supporters actually struck and hit a woman for being a Bernie fan. He must've been sexist to do something like that. When will she bring them to heel?

Seems to feel so good for them to gratuitously beat up on those ignorant, redneck, sexist, racist, low information, low income, state college educated, economically underperforming, tribalist, boy chasing, hell going communist lefties (someone here made a rundown of the ad hominem insults and this is by no means a complete list.)

Face it. These guys just can't help themselves.
