(44,984 posts)36. He campaigned for Hillary and yes they appeared together. Maybe you were busy and missed it
There's even a picture of them together on stage where they look pretty happy and energetic in the link if you decide to read the article.

Bernie Sanders, who has spent weeks travelling on behalf of Hillary Clinton, appeared with her and Pharrell Williams at an event in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Thursday night.
One of the many things that makes Donald Trump angry is that Bernie Sanders does not seem to hold grudges. In recent speeches, Trump has pointed to the information that has come out, through WikiLeaks disclosures of John Podestas e-mails, about the Clinton teams attitude toward Sanders during the primaries: the slights (doofus), the schemes (where would you stick the knife?), and the eye-rolling (socialist math). Perhaps worst of allat least from Trumps point of viewwas Donna Braziles passing along of debate questions. "Now, Bernie Sanders should be angry right? Shouldnt he be angry? Trump asked a crowd in Florida. He sounded a little bit puzzledhe would be so mad.
The truth is that Bernie Sanders is very, very angryat Donald Trump. He is angry enough to have spent weeks travelling on behalf of Hillary Clinton, speaking for her in union halls and arenas, to students and activists. When he talks, he is entirely BernieWe are going to fight for that democracy; we are not going to become an oligarchyand he hints strongly that he has done some negotiating with her before getting on the stage, and will continue to do so after, as he hopes, she is elected. When praising her positions, he often says Secretary Clinton has told me or Secretary Clinton has promised, as though he knows that it might not work, with the sort of swing audiences he is dispatched to persuade (students, working-class voters), simply to declare that taking these stands is in her nature. But he knows what he wants: for her to win. This campaign is not a personality contest, Sanders said near the beginning of a speech in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Thursday night. Were not voting for high-school president. Were voting for the most powerful leader in the entire world. He had been introduced by Pharrell Williams, the musician, who was now sitting on the stage with Clinton herself, as if it were an actual high-school election. Statements like that serve to remind Sanderss supporters that they dont need to be charmed by Hillary Clintonhe is over it, and they ought to be, too. But, if personality doesnt matter, the person does.
There are many, many differences between Secretary Clinton and Mr. Trump, Sanders told the crowd. "But there is one that is very, very profound. Are you ready for a very radical thought right now? I dont want anyone to faint! I think we have some paramedics hereparamedics here is, it turns out, an excellent phrase for demonstrating a Brooklyn accentbut I do want to make this announcement. Are you ready for it? The crowd indicated that it was. "All right. Madam Secretary, you correct me if Im wrong here; I dont want to misspeak for youSecretary Clinton believes in science!
When the cheering had abated, Sanders continued, "I know I put her in a difficult position2016, to believe in science, a little bit dangerousbut what the heck. He then referred to her "very specific ideas for combatting climate change, before turning to the mind of Donald Trump. After years and years of studying the issue from a scientific perspectiveIm joking, Im jokinghe has concluded that climate change is a hoax emanating from China. Now, why he chose China and not Mexico or some Muslim country, I dont know.
