Why do any other candidate's supporters do this?

It adds to the idea they are cultish. Bernie is their focus, not who could really win and at least do some good. No compromise, talk about ideals. When you can see that being idealistic doesn't do you that well in the real world.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
