For one thing this is the first time I have seen this graphic. Second I think the "not Hillary" party is directed at all those who have decided that "anyone but Hillary" would do for the nominee, you know the group that has decided that the only way to play is by trashing and bashing anyone who does not see things their way, and let me tell you that was not any of the O'Malley supporters, and it's not everyone who supports Bernie. It is a group that from day one have gone after president Obama trashing and bashing him daily. They then went after the whole party, trashing and bashing. They refused to see anything good about president Obama, the party as a whole, and then they turned their sites in Hillary. They are the ones who post day after day things that one would expect from the right wing, no from fellow democrats.

I for one know that not those who support Bernie are in that group. There are some great posters that are Bernie supporters who don't trash and bash, they actually post things about Bernie instead of just trying to destroy Hillary with negative posts. Reality is that trashing and bashing isn't working to make anyone like Bernie more than Hillary, actually it sheds a bad light on Bernie when those who claim to be his supporters act that way. Even Berne has asked the "Bernie bro" crowd so simmer down and stop acting this way, but sadly they don't seem to be listening to him. As I said it's not all supporters of Bernie, just the bash and trash gang.
