9. I'm certainly angry.

The primaries are not over! No one has reached a pledged delegate majority, yet. Nevertheless, the establishment is calling for Sanders to give up and just go away. And Bernie's supporters are called "idiots" for not accepting that.

OK, I'm an idiot. I will continue to support Bernie, at least until the convention is over.
