Please register Democratic so you can vote for Bernie in the primary.

I followed BrotherIvan's exhortation to check out reddit and saw that important notice.

Some states have open primaries. In my state, I can vote in a Democratic primary only if I am registered Democratic or "unenrolled." If I am registered Republican, Green or any other so-called 'third Party, I cannot vote in a Democratic primary. Check the rules in your state and get this out of the way now, before you forget. The Secretary of State usually puts them online.

So, a benefit to the Democratic Party, as least for a while, may be to increase the rolls of registered Democrats. Win win.

It's been clear to me that every person who claims to support Bernie doesn't.

And that includes some who are in the Bernie Sanders Group.

I support Bernie, but {insert negative comment about Bernie here}. And never is a positive comment about Bernie or any other potential candidate made. Maybe some negative comments about them are made. Positive comments about Hillary, however, abound.

I am no fan of Hillary, but {insert comment favorable to Hillary here} And never is a negative comment about Hillary made, but positive comments about Hillary are. And never are positive comments about any other potential candidate made. But maybe some negative comments are.

I guess that is supposed to make what comes after the "but" seem more convincing?

"I am no fan of Dr. Phil," but he's right when he says just ignore everything before the "but."
