O RLY?

The last six months:
"You dumb kids, freaking idealists and your conspiracy theories. You aren't even democrats, you're just using our party and screwing everything up that we've spent years and years establishing. We're the Real Democrats, not you!"*

Now:
"And now you all will get in line and vote for the Democratic front runner. And if you don't, we'll have a frosted orange for a President, and it will be YOUR fault."

How did Hillbots expect that to work out?

Beat the kids into obeying them.
How stupid on their part.

Of course it will never be their fault for not taking into account that Independents also vote in the general election. No, they would never listen to that. They will use us Bernie supporters as scapegoats all the way to the horrible loss that Hilliary will have.

--and I wonder how many people these days even understand it--they would allow it to happen. All the mocking and cruel dehumanizing behavior smacks of sociopathy, which is a social disease. Articles about this circulated after W got selected, and here we are again.
