... instead of staying exactly where she is (which is AHEAD by the way) and keeping the votes (and LEAD) she does have?
You know... rarely is an opportunity missed by many here to give Bernie credit for Hillary having "stolen" one of Bernie's positions (as he's the sole keeper of all liberal positions). So, if we concede this absurd notion of Keeper-Bernie, and if we go ahead and agree with those who say such things, then it would be fair to say that Hillary has ALREADY "given-in" and is ALREADY (overtly) "carrying Bernie's banner".
Moral of the story, be happy with what you've got. You've already bragged about "dragging Hillary to the left" ... so THERE'S your "victory" right there.
I think you probably knew that already, but in case you didn't, I'll go ahead and apologize for not being clearer the first time. My fault entirely. (Considering how juries typically work these days, it's often become instinctive for me to to merely "hint" at truths that others may find "offensive" and will try to hide with alerts. And as we see, that can result in lack of clarity and misunderstanding.)
In spite of what we see here at this web site with this self-selecting group of politically active and passionate individuals, I believe that the "hater" population is even less than the 15% you've estimated.
to analyze the situation and vote my conscience, rather than allowing a pundit to decide what my responsibilities are for me.
But thanks. 
... hoping for (contributing to?) failure for no reason other than the sheer vanity and pride of having the coveted satisfaction of being able to say "told-you-so".
You want to "fix" something you think is "broken" ... then come on in and help. Yapping from the fringes and protesting by un-registering from the party, or not voting for the party's nominee serves no purpose except the selfish desire of some to feel "in-control" of a situation for which they have NO control.
The vanity protest voting (or non-voting as the case may be) is theirs to have and covet. I'm sure it will bring great comfort to the myopic few who need to be self-validated and self-consoled ... or those for whom a sense of "revenge" is the most important and ranks higher above all other considerations.
And that's their decision to make. We can't deny them their "right" so to do.
If that's the most mature way that they have in handling defeat, then they should simply step aside. We'll take it from here. (And, if they can't step aside, they'll be trampled by the rest of us as we stampede our way defeat the GOP nominee.)

That's fine. I'd already made my point by then. The rest was more for the benefit of those reading along rather than for you.
But, you know... that attitude also helps to illustrate how impatient many Bernie fans are. So much desire for instant gratification, seldom looking beyond their immediate wants and desires. In my opinion, many Bernie fans appear to see voting as a "religious" experience and make their voting choices based on the feeling they get and the personal pride of "voting their conscience" rather than being more analytical and pragmatic and realistic in the battle against the GOP.
The phrase you emphasized in bold included the word "my" ... that tells me more about you than you probably intended it to.
