I know its such a cop-out to say 'well they did it too!" but really, you can match every smug Hillary supporter to an equally smug supporter of Sanders. I cant speak for this particular website, but boy were they quick to jump on us “Hillarybots” on other forums and insist that they all knew the truth that us blind sheeple just couldn’t acknowledge. And then when the “truth” came out, they felt like all of their conspiracy theories over the past year had been proven absolutely true. Only they weren’t. The DNC emails weren’t so much a smoking gun as a slingshot with a snapped rubberband. This is really erasing history to try to make it that the patronizing and sarcasm came mostly from Hillary’s camp, and that Bernie’s people were all rainbows and sunshine. There was a point when the Hillary supporters decided we just weren’t going to take it anymore: maybe it was when they started regurgitating the same lies about our candidate that the GOP has been spouting for years, or maybe it was when they started harassing DNC members and superdelegates through every channel they could possibly find. I don’t want to get into a he-said-she-said argument, but this characterization of Bernie supporters, especially at the convention, as somehow blameless, is a huge stretch of the truth. But again, people can pout about it, or they can do something about it. Stop complaining that the system wasn’t fixed over night and that every election was rigged and get out there and work to fix it. It isn’t going to be easy or quick or even fun, but it’s certainly not going to happen by casting a third party vote and then forgetting about it for four years. It would be sad to think him and his supporters did all that for nothing, especially when his number one acknowledge goal, getting his message out there, has succeeded so much.
