9. This is something I really do get, I just can't get there myself right now.

Many of Sanders supporters do not represent him. They aren't even close to him ideologically. Try to keep your eyes on what Sanders himself is saying. Including him understanding his supporters are currently his worst enemy. I have a lot of issues with Sanders himself that I have highlighted here. He is worlds better than any of the republicans.

Don't let the hate, anger, and deception being brought here daily sway your thoughts on the bigger picture. They are a side note.

Still, I get you point and it's real.

Clinton currently has the momentum and I don't think you will have to concern yourself with this anyway. We are looking really good and it is becoming clear that Clinton is the people's progressive choice.
