Has Bernie passed the point of no return?

133. Again.

You seem to have some filters in your brain that translate things I say into things I didn't say.

I didn't say Clinton supporters would vote Trump. It's dishonest to imply that I did.

And it's your faulty comprehension, or a tendency to make unfounded assumptions, or your own disingenuousness, that leads you to suggest that "or bust" means Trump. "BoB" is a Democratic thing, not a crossover voter thing.

Democrats and left-wing independents or 3rd party members who support Sanders aren't going to vote for Trump. Some will vote Clinton, some will vote Stein or some other 3rd party candidate.

The fact that Sanders gets crossover support from Republicans and other independents that would normally vote R is frustrating, I know, because Clinton simply doesn't. It's THAT crossover support that will vote Trump if they can't vote Bernie. And that segment of the voting population is not here on DU, is not part of the Democratic Party or its usual allies on the left.

It's truly an aggravating thing for Clinton supporters to acknowledge that her nomination means the November loss of crossover votes from all groups outside the Democratic Party; they've never acknowledged her weakness outside her own party. It's aggravating to acknowledge that she'll even lose some support within her own party to 3rd party candidates. Aggravating, but true. True enough that the majority of Clinton supporters CAN'T, WON'T acknowledge her weaknesses as a general election candidate, even while the DNC is showing uneasiness. The frantic scramble to begin placing blame for her November loss on ANYONE but her and her supporters has begun, and will get worse. It's pathetic, really. It's everybody else's fault that she can't earn the vote. Or, instead of a democracy where each citizen votes their own conscience, the nation owes her their vote, and it's the fault of those who exercise democracy with a small d if she loses. As I said, pathetic.
