Already seeing #NeverHillary! trending on twitter

Also loads of youtube comments seeing they plan to vote for trump in GE and will never vote for Hillary in a thousand years. I think the butthurt has started. The screaming turks did a poll and 86% saying they are not voting Hillary because of the propaganda that they were filled with by Cenk and crew.

are representative of the real world or of the majority of Bernie's supporters.

Even Cenk has toned his anti-Hillary rhetoric down somewhat in recent days.

Some will use any excuse to justify their actions. In the final analysis, what they DO is on them alone, whatever their inspiration.

Good for them! Never change! By next week Hillary will be opening up a 15-20% lead over Trump.

It was the same in 2008 and 2012. There were tons of Paulbots and people voicing support for all sorts of fringe 3rd party types, decrying Obama et al. as being "all the same". If their comments were reflective of reality, we'd be seeing a President Ron Paul or Jill Stein right now. I stopped taking them seriously and stopped spending much time on those types of YouTube pages for the sake of my blood pressure.

Have they admitted yet that they just think they look cool in Che Guevara hats, or do they still pretend that it's about fighting for economic equality?

I won't use the word he used but the sentiment is 100% true. The fact is that we've had a left-wing Dittohead movement grow up that is completely detached from the real world, based around clickbait low information political blogs/sites.

with him based on Jane Hamsher's immediate pivot from supporting Senator Barack Obama to attacking him. She was the person I had in mind when I heard that term.

to support her - until a couple of days after President Obama's inauguration day when she immediately began to attack him. I was, obviously, totally taken aback.

I had commented on a piece she wrote for HuffPo that I'm deeply disappointed at this sudden 180 now against President Obama. Of course, she never responded, but she never stopped attacking him, either. When she suggested that she would combine forces with the already disgraced Palin, that's when I wrote to cancel my membership with Firedoglake.

I didn't know she was so against ObamaCare. But then again, by that time, I had already tuned her out.

One Bernie supporting friend told me he's now considering Trump.

The other 20+ are getting (or already were) behind Hillary.

Any Bernie supporter that would switch to Trump never had any convictions in the first place.

One I know however plans to vote for Jill Stein.

I've known this guy for a while and he's generally struck me as even headed. Hopefully he's only momentarily disappointed, will get over it and come to reason.

That's like the #1 rule of the internet

And we've seen all the pro-Bernie hashtags and trending topics for the last year. Where did that get him? I wouldn't worry
