It was never the Berners who were in favor of dividing the party, it has been the fanatical H campers.

You can't go screwing with a canned narrative like that!

I'm free to do what I think best. I'm not in a personality cult.

If you haven't noticed by now, we left of center liberals don't blindly do whatever other people do. We think for ourselves. We act for ourselves. Bernie is perfectly welcome to do whatever he thinks is right as far as his own vote. My vote is my vote. I will do whatever I think is right for me and my family when I vote.

The fact that people continue to think it is a mindless voting bloc that votes as they are told to vote by anyone is ridiculous. There have been plenty of threads here about how POC don't vote in lockstep and it should probably be noted that goes for everyone, other than Republicans.

Bernie gets one vote and he is more than welcome to use it how he wishes - just don't expect 10+ million to parrot that action.
