Unfortunately, as you have pointed out, for too many Bernie supporters, it became a personality cult, in which surrendering to the enemy became preferable to knowing who one's true friends were.
No greater evidence for this exists than the fact that the Bernie people who stayed home on Election Day continued to insist that Trump and Hillary Clinton were cut from the same cloth. No amount of evidence to the contrary would dissuade them from this patently idiotic assertion.
I'm hoping that in the intervening four years, they have grown up and wised up, and that all the Bernie trumpeting going on online is from Russian troll-bots. I can't believe that any real progressive would be happier with four more years of Trump than a Democratic candidate who is not Bernie Sanders.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
