They’re gathering together to take the ball and leave.

Problem is, the ball is not in their court. They’re planning to go someplace else, away from the game, where they will console themselves with tales of the terrible unfairness of the rules they were fine with when the scoreboard showed them with better numbers. Now that the clock is running out they’ve decided that the referees need to change the rules in their favor. So there they’ll be with no ball, no court, no refs, and no game. And they’ll accuse us of staying to win the game they walked out of.

Sad, isn't it?

1. More like trashing the place before they leave.

And sticking us with the mess.

3. Yep.. that's their MO

2. I won't miss them will you?

4. Most will back Clinton

To get to almost double digit Clinton lead, only 70% of Sanders voters need to back Clinton. That would be a worse case scenario. i think

5. sad, but they certainly don't represent all of Bernie's backers

like me. I can prefer Bernie without going insane about it.

9. I agree with your assessment, thanks

[brer cat]

6. They have lost any credibility

they ever had. If you really care about people you keep working through the system to get the best possible outcome. You don't walk off and sit at home or worse, join the other side. Sad and pathetic.

7. Those who believe in progress will stay, converse, and vote for Hillary

8. How to deal with puling Bernie supporters:

BSer: If I don't get my way, I'm totally leaving this party.
Democrats: Ok, sure.
BSer: Seriously, if I don't get my way, I'm gonna make a huge stink and you're gonna regret it.
Democrats: Sure, Ok.
BSer: Isn't anyone listening?? I'm saying that I'm going to go throw a giant tantrum and it's somehow going to embarrass you instead of me!
Democrats: Uh-huh.
BSer: I'M NOT KIDDING! If you don't placate me well enough, I'm going to vote for Trump! *flecks of spit flying out of mouth now*
Democrats: Can't miss you til you're gone.

ETA: For the jury, "puling" means to cry weakly.
