11. You expect Bernie's supporters to support him in a subservient sort of role to Hillary's

coronation.

We support Bernie because we do not like where Hillary is on the issues. That is not politely negotiable or smoothly glossed over, as if there were just a few tiny and negligible differences. And, again, all Hillary is getting from Bernie is the parroting of whatever of his policies she feels will pander best. She has not changed her corporate hawkish Third Way self one iota.

No sale.

As if, really, any of us had a say or any authority.
