I don't regret having voted for him twice, but for the most part, I've been disappointed in what I've seen. I was absolutely disgusted that he chose the likes of Simpson and Bowles to lead a commission to deal with "fiscal responsibility," when anybody with the slightest bit of sense knows that it has been our out-of-control military spending that has thrown our budget out of whack. I also think that what has happened to our public schools under Obama's watch (specifically, nationalized testing) is a disgrace. On the other hand, I have been satisfied with the ACA, having benefited from it personally, although, like many others, I would much prefer a single payer system, which is one of the many reasons that I support Sanders.
Now let me change the subject. I find it baffling that you apparently want to use Sanders supporters' feelings about Obama as some sort of "test" upon which we may be judged. Obama is not running for president. Clinton and Sanders are. Can we please focus on Clinton and Sanders, and their positions on the issues? Please?
