It's one thing to ask Sanders people to support the ticket...that's fair and legitimate...

49. I've read here and elsewhere that Clinton supporters did same in 2008. I wasn't here so don't know.

My perspective is that given all the new voters he attracted, if only ten percent stay that is ten percent more than the party would have had otherwise. People who are democrats aren't going anywhere. The only people that would leave are those who wouldn't have voted anyway or would have voted third party. Every single person should be thanking Bernie whether he increased votes by ten percent or fifth percent. And democrats who didn't like Clinton to begin with would have not voted or would have considered Stein and less likely Johnson.

And Johnson will take votes from Trump but I don't hear complaints and hate talk on the other side. Or am I missing something?

I am a perfect example. If not for Bernie, I would have voted Stein. My allegiance to Bernie is keeping me in the democratic camp. Yes, I'm registered independent but have usually voted democratic. Since Bill Clinton and his march to the right, I've been erratic in my support for democrats. I voted Gore, Kerry and Obama 1X. Just too little consideration for education, jobs and economy for me. i'm forcing myself to believe Clinton will keep her promises on TPP, fracking, the banks.

I can name names on this site and some of you above are guilty. I wish you could let it go.
