21. This sounds pretty dire to me. It's a threat, if not a promise.

But, let me be clear. Hillary will not win without our support. EVERYONE I KNOW WHO SUPPORTS BERNIE, just one month ago, was saying that they would support Bernie or Hillary in the general. Now, now one single Bernie supporter I know says that anymore. They all feel so betrayed by their party, by the establishment, and by the media. Do you understand what this means?

I'm pretty sure that second "now" in the 2nd to last sentence is a misspelled NOT.
