Dear Bernie supporters: why do you think browbeating supporters of other candidates

What I find most amusing is the feigned 'concern' for Sanders and his supporters.
Oh deary me how will we all cope?
I suggest we all call the treads out for what they are: ratfucking.
And just sit back with the and and enjoy the show.
Because that is what this is, political theater by the people who think nothing of bullying to silence those who refuse to cozy up to the establishment.
GOTV. Talk to friends and family and shock these guys over the next 6 months!
