Sanders himself doesn't seem to be a bad guy, it's his supporters who are the problems. The answer here should be more than obvious.

Fanboys are annoying no matter who they worship, but Sanders' loyalists are a particular strain rarely rivaled in toxicity.

Telling Sanders supporters facts isn't being a sore winner.

Give me an instance where Sanders has proven himself to be a "good guy".

No, but the fact that folks like IceSpear, Bedstuy, etc are still obsessed with Sanders and can't seem to go a day without some making some ridiculously hyperbolic/obnoxious attack against Sanders or his supporters is certainly being a sore winner (the primaries are over, you guys won, time to move on).

Voted atlas Hillary supporters, even though I am 1 myself.  I certainly don't find most Hillary supporters annoying or insufferable, but I tried to look at these people from the outside. 

For as infuriatingly fanciful as Bernies policies may be, at least he isn't boring because of his standard party line or predictability. Hes new. His ideas are new. Some of his voters are new. His flaws are new. At least Bernie and his supporters are likely to say or do things I couldn't have anticipated. So Hillary supporters, because i'm not bored to death.

True but being such a sore loser you cast a write in vote instead of for Hillary is far FAR worse.

Tbh atlas is the only safe space for Hillary supporters on the internet. The rest is Berniebros and Altrighters.

Thank you. I can't even scroll through my Facebook without still seeing memes from the Sandernistas about how KKKillery KKKlinton is a million times worse than a bastard child of Hitler. That, combined with the RWNJs and their typical "Hitlery evil 'cuz she's a baby-killing Demoncrat who's gunna take away muh guns and muh Bibles."

I guess when you're equally despised by the crazies on both ends of the political spectrum, you must be doing something right.

I'm more disappointed with Bernie.  Grace and dignity will enable him to gain more concessions at the Democratic National Convention than being viewed as a sore loser.

There is only one winner in most political races.  Most political candidates lose.  How they go about losing affects their image going forward.

Atlas Hillary supporters treat this forum like it's their own personal safe space and that the opinions of Bernie supporters on their candidate are just "salty sexists who supported a crazy old socialist from Vermont", and then do a 180 and go on about how Berniebots are cancer for not "unifying the party."

Not all Hillary supporters on here are like that, but some of you are downright insufferable when it comes to bashing other candidates. You can have your opinions, but gosh you don't have to force it down others' throats.

Ahh yes, Stalin was clearly a great guy for pissing off both Trotskyists and capitalists.

As for Bernie ever doing a good thing: http://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-insight-bernie-sanders-bailed-me-out-0228-20160226-story.html

As for Bernie being a sore loser: he's agitating to change the platform and influence VP choice. I sincerely doubt he'd have as much influence over those things if he were actively campaigning for Clinton at the moment. Plus, Warren is covering his back by making sure there are Progs on the inside of the winning team.

I guess when you're equally despised by the crazies on both ends of the political spectrum, you must be doing something right. 

Pretty standard fallacy of the mean. I'd prefer to be right than be in the middle.


As for die-hard Bernie supporters (aka the ones who aren't flocking to Clinton at this very moment) speaking as one I suspect it's highly possible to win us over with appropriate concessions. At this point I'd happily vote for HRC for a Warren VP nod* (and accompanying VIP role at the DNC), an anti TPP plank in the platform in addition to the other concessions made, and a Grand Bargain on the next nominating process (I'd be happy for No Supderdelegates in exchange for No Caucuses, as was suggested by Rep. Frank).

*Provided she doesn't Humphrey her Vice Presidency. Which would be a risk.

Sore winners are the worst, obviously.  But if you haven't been on AAD, you haven't seen the least of it.

I voted for Sanders, but quite frankly, people like H.A. Goodman and jfern are so f[inks]ing stupid I actually want to rub it in.
