So some do not consider us real Democrats? Want us to leave the party?

35. Well, I could point out that a lot

of Hillary supporters are demanding total allegiance, but that might be a bit mean-spirited.

The suggestion that the Bernie supporters leave and start their own party is beyond stupid for several reasons. First off, it goes with the crap that Bernie can't possibly be a Democrat because he's been an Independent all these years, totally overlooking that he always caucused with the Democrats.

Second, if Bernie and his supporters were to pull off and form another party, or if he runs as a "Third Party" candidate, that will pull enough support from Hillary, who then would be the Inevitable, that the Republican nominee, even if they managed to nominate a mongoose, would definitely win in the general election.

And, if Hillary does get the nomination in a reasonably fair and square primary season, you still don't want the Bernie supporters to go away. You now want more than every that they get behind her and all the other Democrats running for office.

All of this guy's comments sound rather like someone who is inside the Beltway. You know, all those commentators along the Potomac who don't quite get it that there is an actual world out there. With real people. Who vote. And if his attitude is very common among the Hillary supporters, then god help us all. He's presenting himself as an arrogant s.o.b., who doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone with a different opinion.
