Who came first, a Hillarybot or a Berniac?

Probably the Berniac soshulists, with whom I sympathize. The Berniebots are the ones that refuse to recognise that it's done for now.

And yes, that is scary if you are invested in Progressive policies like fair pay, clean water and air, pure safe food and drugs, and holding miscreants who profit from violating these standards accountable.
Want to spend instead on crony capitalism and live on a pittance in a Continental garbage pit, go TrumPence.

I don't think so. Trump is an Alpha Dog. He won't let Pence do anything except be his errand boy and yes man.

You think Pence is OK wIth playing 2nd fiddle to a moron? His being the real POTUS is the only hope the 'Pubs have to salvage something from this mess, and they must know that.
That's still not good for us.

What do you want the 'Berniebots' to recognize? They dislike Hillary with a passion and everything she stands for. It's the Bernie revolution that they are a part of, not winning or losing an election. I will bet that they could care less whether Hillary wins or loses and who could blame them? The more they get criticized, the more alienated they will become from the party which they now view as undemocratic.

Then they betray Progressive policies to a tyranny of greed based politics under TrumPence.

It's quite possible that being idealistic they want no part of the corrupt world of Hillary and the DNC. Besides they would never believe that Hillary is a progressive, a Republican is more like it.

If that's an accurate reading of the remaining die hard Berners? All I can say is, what a whiney assed buncha children. I swear, I've never seen such a sad collection of angry three year old brats in my life.

I knew there was a reason I never had children, I would've had to follow Mark Twain's advice for child rearing.

She is more Progressive than any standing present day Republican. Her second is far more Progressive than the Veep on the other side.
I don't know why you can't take the most favorable option as the next tolerable step, relative to the alternative.
It's called "survival".

They're idealists and they feel, not without justification, that they've just been crushed by the system. They may check out completely but it's certain that they won't be supporting a candidate of the system anytime soon.
