Badger later rushed to the front of the California delegation breakfast with other Sanders supporters and took over the front of the room, chanting "Count our votes!" -- the latest sign that despite the Vermont senator's calls to get behind Clinton, the Democratic Party still has unifying to do. About a dozen Sanders delegates and supporters took the front of the ballroom Thursday morning after Housing Secretary Julian Castro spoke there and began chanting and waving signs. "Count our votes! Count our votes!" the group chanted. Protesters, including one wearing a green Jill Stein T-shirt, waved signs reading "Hillary for Fear" and a Sanders campaign sign altered to read "Well, we're f---ed now."

And this is precisely why I'm not more welcoming to the hold out, magical thinking type Bernie supporters. These fools keep showing their ignorant asses.
Your votes were counted you simpletons. I know it sucks when your chosen candidate doesn't win, but it happens because thats how things work. There can be only one. There will be no magical reversal that makes Bernie the Democratic nominee so what are you actually trying to accomplish here except be disruptive and disrespectful to everyone else who also participated in the process?
"I could tell you that we're not here to protest people, we're here to fight for causes, and that's what it's been about all along."
Sanders supporters booed Sanders himself earlier this week after he asked his supporters in California to support Clinton. The booing delegates said they did not think that Sanders wants them to give up the fight and that they don't have to follow Sanders' every word.
So, what issues are these, again? Probably the same ones Bourbon wants, but won't tell us what they are, but we would know if we just understood.

I am happy Bernie was able to get more people involved in the political process in this country.
HOWEVER, maybe at his rallies he should have had remedial voting for dummies classes.
1. Your vote was counted but you lost. It sucks, move on 2. There was no conspiracy against Bernie. He is NOT a Democrat so no the DNC is not backing him OVER a real Democrat. 3. HE IS NOT A FUCKING DEMOCRAT YOU NIT WITS!
I listened to the Still Buffering episode with LMM (thanks lyssbobiss, Command, B613) and I am SO in love with him right now. So if he shows up for Hills, I will melt into a wambam puddle.
Hey do these shitheads realize that by making asses of themselves, and loudly being BoB, they paint the left wing of the party a certain way? Regardless of how the votes eventually break down, if Hillary gets a decent share of moderate votes, and the further left votes either aren't for her and are these type of children or they are perceived to be that way, the further left of the party will have limited political capital?
They are shooting themselves in the foot by being so loudly anti-D and anti-HRC, especially if Hillary pulls out a win without them. Even if a decent portion of Bernie voters end up voting for her, if these people don't work within the system (i.e., vote for her and therefore have some investment in her decisions as POTUS), they are going to be drowned out.
Bernie needs to explain to them, using little words, that they are destroying their own movement by not knowing when to hold and when to fold because it takes away from whatever concessions he got in the platform if his former supporters don't vote for her. There will be no significant group of voters to demand that she stick to those things if Bernie's people don't show up to vote for her. I think Bernie is dumb for not spelling this out to them or even realizing it himself (perhaps his ego is in the way?) by not fundraising and handing over his email lists. No one on his side is using their political capital wisely, and I honestly don't think he ever has - with how long he stuck it out.
Just like they most likely would have shot themselves in the foot with Bernie actually winning, they're slowly snuffing out their movement and "revolution" by not living in reality... the dangers of extreme ideological purity and people who don't understand our form of government.

This is the same type if thing Trump supporters on the radio keep saying. "I know he SAID that, but he actually meant this other thing that I agree with"
And because I'm ranting, and it's never good to let a good rant go to waste... this is why I think Bernie is incredibly ineffective. He has stayed employed because he represents Vermont which is - no offense - probably full of weirdos who have little in common with the rest of the country. Being weird is cool and all, but if you want to actually effect change you need to be able to work within the system and translate your political capital into political power to actually accomplish something.
He has been pissing his political capital away for months! MONTHS!
I think his problem is that he doesn't understand what my friend, FHTK, understands - you can be right or do right. You can be right or you can actually get something done that moves the needle in the right direction.
I hate to ask this again, but the channel I was watching without interruptions is no longer available somehow. Where can I see it, without a panel or interruptions?
CNN reported that they've interviewed many Sanders delegates and all the ones in battleground states are saying they will vote for Hillary and aren't angry, but the ones in California and other deep blue states are insane (not their words, but the things they are saying... derpity derp derp derp derp).

Delusional people with magical thinking. And so help me if these California delegates boo Hillary during her speech, omg. Nothing was stolen, nothing was rigged, there is no conspiracy and she and Bernie hold virtually the same opinions. Jfc.

Okay, kids, You had a chance to improve your grades. You didn't. You spent all your time bitching about how your teacher was shitty and you hated her rather than actually doing anything. Now grades are posted. You cannot retake the test now. It's over. I know you don't think the test was fair. I know you think your teacher did this on purpose because she hates you. However, it's time to face facts. This is the grade you earned. Go away now.
