How does supporting Clinton designate integrity? I don't understand.

It's hard as a Bernie fan to understand how Bernie endorsed Crooked Hillary after she rigged the primaries and stole 200 million dollars in donations from Bernie, given by folks like me to the DNC.  The DNC set an hourly  sweep of all Democratic National Commitee funds to Hillary.  I'm part of a multi million dollar class action lawsuit against the DNC.  Yeah, I felt the burn...

No. Bernie was my first choice. Hillary was my second choice. I would have thought less of him if he hadn't endorsed her. I never understood the Clinton hate on either side of the spectrum.

You donated to the DNC? Now I do feel betrayed.

If people don't understand the problem with Hillary now, then they never will. That discussion is over really. Was she a better choice than Trump for president? Well, yes of course, but that's like asking is it better to be castrated via proper medical procedure, or simply to have your nuts chopped off with a Stanley knife.

Bernie is basically a good guy and IF he chooses to run again it will need to be as part of the democrat machine. I would like to see him run again, and just pray to God that Harvey Weinsteins buddy Oprah doesn't throw her hat in. People are stupid enough to vote for that monster, just as many were stupid to vote for Trump.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

while I really dislike PigTrumpPig, he did say something that did chime right to me during his campaign: basically, Arsehole Trump said that he wished one day to have a woman president, but not that one.
I must say, that despite the fact that I would've preferred Hillary in office rather than Donald Duck Trump, she does appear quite corrupted.... or at least, been way too long in politics.  While I still view Bill as the second-best president since I'm born (after Obama), but I can't help feeling that she has become a fake or a heavily-corrupted individual... If DDT made it as president, it's mostly the Democrat's fault by insisting on her (let's face it, Bernie didn't stand a chance (no matter how credible and honest he is).
 
The other half of the fault is the way the votes are counted...Geek As a fan or proportionality in democracy, I'm really opposed to the "winner takes all" Thumbs Down in a given county or state (same problem in the UK)... Where is the democracy in that?? How the f**kCensored is it possible that someone with 2M votes more than his opponent can lose. OuchDeadNuke

Andy, outside the "TV star" thing, what do you have against Oprah?? is she corrupted?? QuestionConfused

^ The vote was pro-Trump, not anti-Hillary.  That's the part people have a hard time accepting.

Ooooh, I have no problem accepting that there is a vile minority that voted DDT, but there was an anti-Hillary vote abstention, when you consider that 6M possible democrat voters abstained (a lot of "ethnic" voters, mainly).
 
It's usually the motivation in the democrat reservoir that usually makes the difference.

I've never felt betrayed by Bernie. I've only felt the Bern.

No, because from a logistical standpoint it made sense for him to do that. I do think that he probably should have run as an independent in the first place though. But none of that really matters since the election was already decided thanks to the Russians.

My thoughts exactly. Bernie was my first choice.
