(4,035 posts)That they think that everyone who supports Clinton would vote for Bernie if he was given the nomination? They themselves say they won't vote for Hillary, but they assume that we will not only vote for him, but also put the Democratic party infrastructure at his disposal if he were, undemocratically, to be given the nomination. She won the support of the majority of our party, but they think he should be crowned because of unsubstantiated claims that people who do not want to be a part of our party support him? (I mean, a huge number of the people who voted for him in West Virginia said they'd vote for Trump in the GE, so exit polls on R/D/I don't mean he will get the bulk of the independents come the GE.)
Even though I put myself in danger of being called an anti-semite for saying this, but they embody the definition of chutzpah. Bernie Sanders admits he ran as a Democrat because he wanted the advantages of doing so, accepting the strictures of the rules in the party with his choice, but his supporters claim he should be crowned nominee because he won those outside the Democratic party. Chutzpah.
