Related: About this forumNeither Bernie nor most of his supporters are responsible for the crazies among them
I remember in 08, there were quite a few HRC supporters who went quite unhinged after Obama won, and I certainly did not want to be held responsible for their insanity, nor did I hold HRC responsible.
There are always a few crazies and the news love to cover said crazies but I still belief most Bernie supporters and Bernie himself are now HRC supporters.
