4. Sorry, but some of us don't want this to be a conservative party.

HRC would be back on Bill's 1996 platform if Bernie had dropped out before this. It is only his presence in the race that keeps her progressive at all.

If you really want him to get out, you should be pushing your candidate to agree not to move to the right on anything. There aren't any votes to be gained by going back to only being pro-choice and slightly pro-LGBTQ while being conservative on everything else, like the party was in the Nineties. Nobody wants us to be just barely different than the GOP.

why many Hillary supporters are incensed what with the non stop attacks since the nineties but for those who crave others to face reality, what makes someone believe thier personal idea of reality has more basis in facts than another's?

2008 was bad but this, the behaviors of many are shameful for want of a better word....

Neither camp can claim innocence though thankfully enough individuals for either candidate are attempting to keep it civil and fair..

This is democracy or so I'm told, let's allow that democracy to be a valid win, no reason to demand it's over before it's over in my opinion.
