I don't think anyone has said that Sanders supporters are not 'true Democrats'

The graphic in the OP literally throws Sanders supporters into the "Not Hillary" party. How on Earth is that not saying they are not 'true Democrats'?

but there are many here who have proclaimed they will not vote for the nominee if it's not someone they approve of.

How DARE those evil people think they have a choice in their vote!!!!!

Either remaining candidate is going to have to win over the supporters of the other candidate. Taking any voters for granted is how we lost 2014, 2010, 2004, 2002 and 2000.

This was a tie. Bernie came back from 30 points down to tie the so-called "inevitable" ViseGrip Feb 2016 #7

I wouldn't expect any less. peace13 Feb 2016 #9

It's fine. Agschmid Feb 2016 #10

Do you condemn the image for denying our status as members of the Democratic party? JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #12

No. It doesn't seem to do that... Agschmid Feb 2016 #42

"Not Hillary" Party implies we are not members of the Democratic Party. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #43

I disagree with that bery biased reading. Agschmid Feb 2016 #44

Discussing issues is fine but the vitriol leveled at Clinton is in amazingly bad taste. randome Feb 2016 #13

Anyone who posts that is an immature asshole. cui bono Feb 2016 #16

Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know. Even if she won big though, this image would be just as insulting. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #20

Okay. I guess O'Malley supporters 'asked for it' ffs. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #25

To my knowledge, O'Malley supporters have not accused Clinton supporters... randome Feb 2016 #30
