39. or you might look at it this way: give Bernie and supporters the benefit of the doubt.

Have a little respect and humility toward those of us who don't believe he has lost.
Even better, listen to him. He has not yet lost.

Try to understand why we'll continue until the very end (more reasons than one.) -- instead of denigrating -- try to understand.

Be patient! Don't demand, or expect, Bernie supporters to stop our efforts.

Instead ask yourself: what is this thing profoundly inspiring so many people young and old, what is this passion about?" instead of dismissing Bernie, his peeps, his vision as most H fans do.. try to understand what it is. Call it research. Ask your heart.

Addionally, you can scoff -- but Hillary is in legal trouble. Pundits are uneasy. Not everyone has voted. We are still trying to sway voters and superdelegates, media and public opinion.. this is the reason there are still unfavorable articles about her being posted. You see it as pointless bashing; it's not. The more people learn, the closer the hot breath of the law gets, all bets are off. Hillary fans need to stop insisting she has won, whether you believe it or not, and stop insisting we accept your view. Give it a rest till summer's end, forget we even exist out here.
