The reaction of the (s)hillary crowd shows THEIR true nature
I have seen many tweets/posts/etc. from Hillary supporters who claim that many Bernie supports have turned their back on Bernie (or their messiah as some have used this word).
The whole Bernie cult of personality that the (s)hillary camp has tried to foist upon us reveals what the (s)hillary crowd really is. THEY are the cult of personality crowd that worships at the alter of Clinton.
The fact that many Bernie supporters (like myself) who will NEVER support/endorse/or even vote FOR Hillary shows that the movement that Bernie started is NOT ABOUT HIM! It was and always has been about HIS MESSAGE!
The (s)hillary camp that wants to now insult many of us who won't follow (in their words) our messiah, shows that they NEVER understood or even WANTED TO understand the message that Bernie has been making. It shows that it was just a DE-legitimizing campaign from the start of progressive ideas.
While myself (and many others) are saddened by Bernie's endorsement, we understand that unlike the hill-bots, we have a MIND that is not controlled by fear (of the Donald) or limited (in the two-party paradigm) that can see and work towards true progressive ideas. We won't be sheep that follow Bernie's call to support (s)hillary, we will follow our minds, our conscience.
I would like to now ad a very informative tweet.
Wrong! People are feeling hurt and betrayed that Bernie is supporting Wall St. owned HRC, and not a real progressive https://t.co/LWlC8NY8WN

And it looks like the DNC really put the screws to Bernie.
Ex DNC Convention Chair Rendell, made it clear if Bernie didn't endorse Hillary, he wouldn't speak at convention.https://t.co/fOlhWrNtaI

I hope Bernie gets up on that stages give them a figurative middle finger and endorse Jill Stein and tell the DNC they have abandoned the people!

He will reach a lot of new people on that stage. Millions watch
the Dem convention. I doubt he'll endorse Jill Stein while there, ha! But we can dream.

He'll probably reiterate his platform
so that hrc can embrace it in public. That would be the shits.

Rather than focus on the relationship between Sanders
and his supporters, they should worry about all the Bernie voters who won't be voting for a certain someone this November (say the name out loud, and you turn to salt).

Ah, so they're claiming a carrot as well as a stick
Or maybe the more apt metaphor is that they brought a tube of lube.
Wow, now I (don't) feel better.

Convention Speech
Kind of brings to mind the idea of a gun control advocate going to the national NRA convention and giving a speech urging those in attendance to show compassion for the victims of gun violence, and to balance their dedication to safeguarding 2nd Amendment rights with the interests of society in protecting ordinary citizens from acts of blood-letting and mayhem perpetrated by gun-toting lunatics. Problem is the people in the audience won't listen, and the people out in TV Land have already heard it.
Personally, I don't think it was the threat of being denied a speaking slot that motivated Bernie to endorse Hillary. More likely it was due primarily to his desire to preserve his own viability as a member of the US Senate. Failure to kiss Hillary's ring would have made Bernie a total pariah among his Democratic fellow Senators, and forced him to either retire or accept being reduced to an utterly powerless and ineffectual role. He could easily spin it in his own mind as behaving in a responsible way so as to protect the interests of his constituents.

He's old enough to retire
He could have gone out on fire
He's fought an AMAZING fight - no one's done this
anytime recently. I give him a ton of credit. We don't know what we don't know about what's gone on behind the scenes. I am deeply grateful to him.

In your picture......
...... Bernie looks like he was just made to chug a full quart hakarl milkshake made with oyster ice cream! And castor oil sauce!

SOP for right wing
It's standard operating procedure for right-wingers to point fingers, loudly and baselessly accusing their opponents of doing what they are guilty of themselves. The Hillarybots have got this technique down apparently.
"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."
That's because they ARE right wing-just like Hillary n/t
SOP for abusers
It's standard operating procedure for abusers and narcissists, especially of the personality-disordered variety. Projection, operating hand-in-hand with crazymaking and gaslighting.

I am a Bernie supporter and will not vote Clinton
Not because Bernie is a cult leader but for a much simpler reason, I agree with his policies and disagree with Hillary's. That policy direction is so different it is literally impossible to support both.
I will not buy into the BS Trump is worse. Yes Trump would be horrible but I believe so would Hillary, just in a different way.
