I ran into the same problem when I tried to introduce myself but make a few posts and it will let you.

Sorry to hear that you're very disappointed that Bernie lost the primary but rest assured that the better candidate did win. While I like Bernie Sanders and all that he's done for our Party the right candidate won the primary.

Now you should back Hillary as she did win fair and square. I remember being young (barely!) and often ran into disappointment in politics but always remember one thing, you owe the Democratic Party your loyalty, even if your guy (or girl) loses. If you remember to stay loyal, even when it's hard eventually it will pay off. While it's currently "cool" to go against "the establishment" you can do so while voting for Hillary as she is certainly not part of it as she's been fighting it her whole life!

Rest assured that Hillary will win the Presidency, not only because she deserves it but she is by far the most qualified candidate (possibly ever) but because she's spent her life in the service of others.
