It's time Bernie...

We've supported you and your campaign for months.

You've fought hard for America and your supporters.

Now is the time to unite and ensure Trump and the GOP don't win.

Now is the time to come together.

Bernie, please boldly declare, "I'm with her!"

Until then I have zero respect for him.

After June 16, he can do nothing to win me back to favoring him and my personal policy will be any candidate would be better than Sanders in 2018.

June 16th ... yup, agree.

Past that, it depends on what he does to help Hillary beat Trump.

Hillary has provided the model. She placed Obama's name into the nomination at the convention, and she campaigned hard for him. Then took the SoS position.

Bernie has some choices to make. He can help her win AND at the same time, continue to move the "movement" forward. The better Hillary does, the more opportunities we all have to achieve more of the goals we all share.

I think Hillary will reach out to Bernie, just as Obama reached out to Hillary. How Bernie responds remains to be seen.

IMPORTANT THING--- to earn back the "respect" of some online Hill-Bully,
by the date they demand.

It is hard to lose and you need a mourning period of sorts. But once I got on the Obama bandwagon I never looked back.

I'm heartbroken and have spent many days crying during this primary season (despite promising myself not to get too invested so I wouldn't get my heart broken), but I agree that it's time, or at least, it will be after the polls close in California, regardless of the result. I am proud to have been a part of this campaign, but I want to see Bernie go out on a high note and maximize his influence and ability to continue leading a movement, not become a joke who didn't know how to quit like Dennis Kucinich.

If that is the case I will respect him a lot for it, especially since he is unlikely to do very well there.

But I don't see any point in continuing to openly campaign against Hillary after everyone has voted.

But I am very glad to hear it. The voters of DC have been ignored and marginalized since the founding of this country. I am glad to see Bernie give them some attention even if it won't make a difference in whether he gets the nomination.

He's in it all the way. It would be best for ex-supporters of Bernie to just sit back and relax and let the rest of us, and Bernie, soldier on without yall. Defeatism is not in our best interest.

Quitting now just kowtows to the establishment that promises ultimate destruction to the America we need.

Never give up.
