Sanders supported lash out at establishment, media and "ignorant voters."

At Sanders’ election night rally in Santa Monica, Calif., his supporters reflected the stubborn sensibility of their candidate. Most refused to acknowledge that Clinton had earned the nomination and instead attributed Sanders’ loss to a rigged system.

Sanders’ base — as represented in that room — identified opponents in many quarters: “the establishment,” the Democratic National Committee, “ignorant voters” and, perhaps most of all, the mainstream media. When TV screens showed Clinton leading, the crowd shouted, “CNN sucks.”

I'm only concerned with what the candidates do.

I am a Sanders supporter, and feel that the process worked and that Hillary should be the nominee. I support democracy.
