I think I might be able to clear up a point of contention amongst Democrats who seem to be upset at Bernie supporters who refuse to vote for Hillary.
Many of us Bernie supporters (certainly myself), are NOT Democrats.
We are Independents and registered as such.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Here’s what actually happened in our eyes. We came to the Democratic party to support a specific candidate that we believed in. When we got to the Democrats, it was the old “Bait and Switch” routine. We found a corrupt committee propping up Hillary, blatantly so, with VERY strong indications of fraud. (Stop reading and flip a coin until you get heads seven times in a row. Go ahead, it’s important that you understand.)
Next add in the whole “super delegate” shenanigans, and we’ve already had enough.
The party chose to break its own rules, failed to recognize the 13 million extra supporters in the room, and push a candidate that most people simply don’t trust. And it’s no surprise that we didn’t trust her. There are hundreds of polls and research data showing that Hillary is not trusted, perceived as criminal, and unwilling to do something as simple as release speech transcripts even as a show of good will. (I don’t even need to mention the whole “lying to the FBI” debacle, etc.)
So, Democratic Party, you blew it, and most likely, the election. And you have no-one but yourselves to blame.

Many years ago, King Clyde Glunk faced a dilemma. His kingdom was about to come under siege by the Romans as they advanced through Europe.rnrnThe King stepped onto his balcony and addressed his people..
“My citizens, we have a grave decision to make. The Roman army is approaching and we are badly outnumbered with no chance of victory. If we fight, we will most likely be overrun with very few survivors left to tell our tale. However, if we abandon our small kingdom to flee and hide throughout Europe, our culture will be lost and forgotten in the sands of time. I will not order you to fight. Instead, I leave the decision to you, good people. Shall we face the oncoming onslaught and fight to defend our way of life, or shall we run? I shall return in the morning for your answer.”
The next day, King Clyde Glunk, weary from a sleepless night, made his way to the balcony to once again address his people.
“Good people, I ask you. Do we run and hide? Or do we head onward into battle?”
There was silence as a lone representative from the crowd made his way to the front. He stopped, and looked up at his King. He removed his hat and began to speak…
“Your Majesty,” he said, “as your loyal subjects, we have discussed this long into the night. We have weighed every option, and have come to a solid conclusion.”
“What say you?” asked the King.
“We shall not run and hide. We shall… MARCH FORTH!”
And that’s how we came to celebrate this holiday. May you and yours have a glorius March 4th.
