Ya scared? Yep! You're scared of Bernie!

My gods the GDP silliness has hit a low point. Have you seen the large number of posts that look like this:

"Hillary supporters are scared of the Bern! We are winning and they are nervous!"

Does it remind anyone else of a runt running around a larger person poking their fingers and screaming "you're scared of me!"?

No. We just find you annoying and are trying not to pound you.

Hillary has the math and delegates to stomp the Bern and knows it. No one is scared of Bernie - just so damn annoyed at his anti Dem tirades. Her supporters are tired of the twirps running around screaming about how it is all rigged (it's not). We are fatigued. So tired of needing to explain - for the millionth time - that Sanders has been effectively eliminated since Super Tuesday.

We know you are convinced Hillary is evil and that Bernie is the second coming of Christ. Yeah, yeah. The birds love him and he will give you free crap. God bless.

We don't post over there as much because you are silly. This is silly.

You can't bear to vote for Hillary? So what. Go. Do what makes you feel happy. We aren't trying to convince you. Why? Because the vast majority of intelligent Americans will vote for her. Stop yelling about Bernie beating Trump by more. We've debunked that junk time and again. Also, it's academic. The votes have been cast. Hillary is the nominee. Your yelling about it is beginning to look like hope that Hillary loses. Surely no real Dem or progressive would want that. That would be idiotic. We know your hyperbolic rants come from frustration. We also know that you will vote Dem in November.

We aren't worried or scared.

Bernie is done and Trump is next. On to the White House for the Democratic Party and President Hillary Clinton!

Just let them have their fantasies of a miracle. On June 7 it will be OVER. Hillary will be the presumptive nominee, officially.

And despite all the talk about taking it to the convention, I don't think that will happen; mainly because so far Sanders has had the carrot of future primaries to keep people interested and donating. "We lost tonight...donate to make sure we win the next one!" Or, "We won tonight! Donate to keep the momentum going!" Once there are no primaries, people will lose interest, they won't be donating, and they will be ready to turn to the General. There will be a few diehards but almost all will come around.

Stay positive! Nothing they can do now matters. Not one thing.

Enjoy the win! Smile! Congratulate each other for our time and effort spent helping Hillary Clinton win her historic nomination! We deserve it.

WE are the Democratic coalition!!

From the first, and every primary after he has been losing. He at no time was a threat to Hillary. Paint an L on his forehead.

If you see me post there -it is normally because I got pulled into one of my on average 3 calls to jury a day.

I think not just at DU - but in other places (Facebook in particular) - I don't think the die Hard Sanders supporters can see -

If anything HRC is irritated that she can't just move on to tearing down Trump at every turn.

If Sanders has a viable path to the nomination - then why isn't Trump going after him?

For every Bernie or Bust person who won't vote D in protest of HRC, there's a newly registered POC, woman, or young person who will.

For every Bernie supporter who is foolish enough to cut off their nose to spite their face, Hillary is pulling in new voters who will happily vote for her over the racist and sexist alternative of Trump

but should Hillary be elected there's a part in me that just bristles at the thought of any one of these Bernie supporters benefiting in any way from an HC presidency.

They just can't come to grips with the fact that she's winning and beating the guy they all assumed would be a shoe-in. Next time, maybe he should put together a campaign ahead of time instead of making it up as he goes along.

Which is something the right has always been good at. hmmm?

They have been projecting so much on Clinton and on Clinton Supporters for most of the campaign. From their cheating, to violence and other disruptions and on to calling for Hillary to drop out. They know there is no chance so all they have left is to project their fears on us and cause disruption where they can.

Sore losers if you ask me.

Just the oddest thing. But you have to remember that these are just a few hundred people who are so attached to their fantasy that they have managed to take over this tiny corner of the internet.
Where else can the fringiest of the fringe go to shut out reality except for places like this. They can't watch TV because Bernie has already lost there and the "Bernie is winning" meme has probably outlived it's welcome in most of their real world.
