...in the Aftermath of the Democratic Primary

Believe it or not, Bernie Sanders supporters will have the ability to do this exact same thing come June. They actually will have a candidate still in the race who supports many of the things that Bernie Sanders does. In fact, this candidate voted with Sanders 93% of the time when they were in the Senate together. This candidate wants to get us to universal health care, but thinks we should do it by strengthening the Affordable Care Act and building upon its success. This candidate doesn't simply want to make college more affordable but this candidate also wants to make paying off student loans more affordable as well. This candidate wants to have a $12 federal minimum wage as recommended by economic experts but will support cities and states should they wish to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. This candidate even sees the value of declassifying marijuana in order to do studies on it in order to make the best decision in regard to its use both medically and recreationally. Like Bernie Sanders this candidate supports marriage equality, has a plan to rein in the abuses on Wall Street, wants to overturn Citizens United, and would pursue democracy as a primary foreign policy rather than going to war.

And that candidate's name is Hillary Clinton.

1. I would wait until after the NY primary.

Even better, wait for after the April 26 primaries.

2. Good idea!

Right now, some still believe that they actually have a chance.

3. Good idea!

They'll be shell-shocked so the threats of violence should be minimized.

6. I'm with Koinos on this one

Let's wait until Hillary has a nice win in NY, and the Sanders folks begin to join the rest of us in the place we fondly call reality.

4. They're not ready to go towards the light

They are still fighting the reality that the campaign is dead. Kind of like Bruce Willis in the Sixth Sense.

[Stand and Fight]

5. No. It will be nothing but flamebait at this point.

I don't see any sense in antagonizing them. Better to maintain a sense of graceful dignity than to dive into the gutter.

7. I say wait

it'd be like pouring salt in an open wound.
