They simply latched on to Bernie as the anti-Hillary person.

I assume those are the same ones who will vote Trump in the GE (since we know a percentage of Bernie supporters have said that they will vote Trump in the GE if Hillary is the Dem nominee).

have said, again and again, that they will vote for Hillary should she win the nom.

Anyone wearing a dipshit button like that has zero intentions of voting for the winner of the Democratic Party primary and will happily move over to sausage-fingered Trump. They are NOT and have never been Democrats and long to see the Democratic Party defeated so that the Republican Party can swoop in and take over.

from a growing audience of those who are sickened by this boys-will-be-boys bull shit.

Hillary becomes the only adult in the room.
Smart, sensible, reasonable & respected globally.

Trump & Sanders deserve each other. They are now an embarassment the in the eyes of the world.
They both point fingers at each other, shouting LIAR LIAR, and both have video proof to back up their claims.

When seperating the men from the boys, its becoming hard to tell the difference anymore.

The world is watching a couple of schoolyard bullies go at it while any semblance of a positive campaign message they once had, disappears midst the shouting & blaming.
Perhaps they can grow up & pivot back to the message they began with.
Such an embarassment.

The adult in this campaign will emerge the winner in Nov.

....BERNIE will shake hands with the winner and turn his delegates over to the nominee because that is how party unity works if you really want there to not be a GOP president.

But Bernie's SUPPORTERS who have overtaken this discussion board with so much hostility to Hillary that they will repeat any lie from any source and twist any truth in order to take down Hillary (and Bill) are of the same mind as those who produced and wear that button. I no longer believe that any of them will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee. There is too much blind hatred there.

Quite sad that it was neither satire or republican interlopers, because

It was their MI victory lap I guess...not particularly gracious.

I'm a millenial (I think...is 1989 millenial?). I, and the large majority of
people I know +/- 4 or so years of me never seemed to have that kind
of attitude. I think it's an unfair characterization, not really what is
leading to Bernie supporting. If anything, most of Bernie's support
comes from relatively well off youth.
I've been just as opposed to young people characterizing boomers
the same way ("The boomers, they got theirs, and now they don't
want to share./They screwed up the country." etc). I think the
majority of it both ways is just...intergenerational rivalry.

I have met people like the above, and yeah, they mostly love Bernie.
My major problem isn't that Bernie draws people like that, but that
Bernie makes promises that can't realistically be kept...not at the
moment, at least. As to why those that get drawn in by that seem
to be largely youth (though, remember, a lot of old, hippy boomers
love him too), I think it's because their mix of youthful (perhaps)
unrealistic optimism and their general lack of life experience...
particularly regarding politics.

My first election was in 2008, and I admit, while I felt pretty
knowledgeable about politics and history, not all the reasons
I voted for Obama were necessarily solidly founded. Not that
future, more knowledgeable me would have voted otherwise,
but I certainly had a few youthful illusions.
