18. The people who feel left out did it to themselves

They wanted to be independent, didn't want the Democratic Party or the Republican Party to have their information or for whatever reason, they chose to be outside the party. Same with Sanders, he didn't want to be part of the party.

Suddenly, he decides to run for President and the only way he can do that is with some party affiliation, so he sides with the party he has scorned for so long and becomes a Democrat. Suddenly he has this huge following of independents who want to vote for him but, guess what, they have to be part of the party in many states (I think it should be all primaries). But they don't want to join the party to vote for him, so what is left to do?

Throw temper tantrums, get violent and threaten people because they didn't want to follow the rules. I can understand them wanting a more progressive candidate, but you have to work the system to do that, you can't have a revolution in the manner they think they are going to get one.

All they are going to get is branded and further disenfranchised for the disruption they have created and plan for the upcoming weeks/months.

Bernie Sanders is not a progressive, he his destructive.
