Advice to Bernie supporters.
Whether you vote in November for the nominee or not is not dependent on us.
We have the chance to retain the White House
We have the chance of retaking the Senate
We have the chance to put a liberal majority on the Supreme Court.
We have a chance to make real change.
It is up to you if you are a part of that or not.
We don't run your lives for you.
And the shit we've taken for the past few months doesn't die easily. Your efforts have not gotten the results you hoped for and now you want us to play nice.

I predict that the gentle pokes and needling from Hillary supporters will end relatively quickly. Exactly how soon, is anyone's guess ... but I'm confident that it will NOT last as long as the insufferable weeks and months that we had to endure the bitter and vitriolic attacks, insults and smears from the worst element of the Bernie camp.
In all honesty and fairness, they weren't ALL so bad ... but the worst offenders certainly managed to give everyone a bad reputation. As things move forward, those bad-actors are likely to be the first to go.
For everyone else (namely, the passionate but otherwise reasonable Bernie supporters) I'm afraid you'll just have to take it on the chin for a little while. We need our moment of release, and hopefully the feuding and hard feelings will come to an end.
Peace.
I didn't mistreat any black folk. 
Obama and the HRC surrogates are the ones calling for that, remember? I guess she can't take the heat from us "wimpy" Berners? 
We don't need a damn thing from her supporters, thank you very much.
I'll keep donating, phone banking, texting, and tweeting, just I have been doing and just as I intended to do all along, nothing changed. And it'll be that way at least until the convention.
(HRC will never get a dime from me, and neither will the DNC until and unless it goes back to its FDR roots and its neocon/neolib establishment quits en masse.)
Here, this is as nice as I intend to get with those who would foist more corrupt corporatists on our country...
