      I despise the liberals that voted for Hillary/Biden during the primaries more than the right just doing what conservatives always do. I never expected anything other than the current hate and ignorance from the right - but to see so many people who claimed to be on the left fall in line behind whoever the DNC/media coronated, and talking about Bernie like he was unrealistic or crazy, killed whatever hope I had for this country.

        I find this mentality most frequent in historical Rs who are left-leaning. Those who grew up on the right, and slowly came to terms with reality (I have personal and family experience here, so I am probably biased). While annoying, it can mean people are on the precipice of change if they find the right education.

    I hope Bernie has a whole slew of people under him who share his ideas. We need more like him.
