Because Hillary supporters feel the same about Bernie that Bernie supporters feel about Hillary.

At least that's how they try to frame it. The anybody but Hillary party can't wrap their heads around the fact that people can like both Hillary AND Bernie, and still decide to support Hillary.

Bernie I like. Some of his most vocal "supporters"? Not so much.

I like both candidates and would happily work for either in the general, but like Hillary (and ALL of her experience) better and will be supporting her in the primary. I don't understand the anti-Hillary hysteria that comes from many Bernie supporters. I just know I don't want Tailgunner Ted Cruz or the Donald making the next three plus SCOTUS appointments, which apparently sets me apart from many Bernie supporters.

I wonder if Sanders does. How can he say he'd do something a pres can't do?

And he's never been shy about questioning what a President can and cannot do. I have absolutely no problem with any of that.

I suppose his supporters have to hold on to any shred of evidence that he could actually accomplish what he says. I saw an earlier thread asking how he would get his plans through a GOP Congress, and people were seriously arguing that because he's running a "transformational" and "revolutionary" campaign, it would (magically) reshape the makeup of Congress. Notwithstanding the fact that he's never cultivated relationships with state parties, and notwithstanding the fact that the House is gerrymandered until - at a minimum - 2022.

rainbow pooping unicorn plans for America is a bannable offence on the Bernie Underground.

have complete power over.

You hate big banks? Take your money to a credit union. Mine offers everything the banks offer, and I have 0 ATM fees and 0 on my checking account.
The employees are not only courteous, they go out of their way to help.

First I don't use ATM's... I go to the bank when I need cash.

Second I don't use cash... I just don't.

And third even if I was charged an ATM fee my credit union refunds them to me monthly.

This won't work for everyone clearly but if this is the extent of Sanders plans, I've seen better ones.
