At this point, the good Bernie supporters have gotten behind Hilldawg leaving the nutter dregs left. What will they do if Bernie drops out?

All 10 of them in DC vote for Bernie and then complain for some reason or another.

Those already actively involved in politics probably will stay so. While not a fair amount that are not politically active probably go back to do what they were doing before.

Continue to spam Reddit and Twitter with H.A. Goodman/Seth Abramson/Salon articles about how this is all part of his master plan, and he will re-enter and win when the time is right.

"Good" Bernie supporters got behind Hillary? With that sort of framing you oughta be a CNN anchor.

Anyway, it can be extraordinarily difficult to ignore politics after becoming so invested, so I cannot see the Sanders crowd simply disappearing or dissolving/coalescing into the Clinton camp. Perhaps in the short term they support one of the other candidates or become disassociated with electoral politics, but an entire generation of politically class-aware people isn't just going to go away.

There's no shortage of Bernie or Busters among my Facebook friends.

In my feed today

Person A: Trump manipulates the voters with lies
Person B: Hillary does too
Person A: No, she does not
Person A: And I think that Hillary is a monster and would never vote for her

LOL when even those defending Hillary are Bernie or Bust.

Fortunately, all three of my friends from Texas are supporting Hillary, so it looks like Texas is Safe D this year.

Great, that could make up for the Trump (or Jill Stein) victory in California.

On topic, some of them will come around, others will go back to what they were doing before. Whine about the how rigged and unfair everything is, while doing nothing to try and change anything.

Wow! Last time I felt so surprised was when I learned that children aren't actually delivered by the stork.

short term effect: nothing with pundits saying it was meaningless rebellion
Long term effect: in 10 years time this will be the face of the Democratic party with a strong SD tone and the progressive caucus taking over the house factions

I'd say about 1/3 would take option 1, while 2/3 would take option 2.

Short term:

Most of them will come around and vote for Hillary or perhaps not vote at all. The hard core will pout a lot and threaten to vote for Trump.

Long term:

They'll find a new leader who is younger who will be much better than Bernie, and they will dominate the party, changing the face of it for years to come.

And they will weed out the corruption, the big money, the deck being stacked for the 1% and it will be more of a unity consciousness where all citizens matter.
