Bernie or Bust people are being ridiculous

You’re being ridiculous. That was the message to Bernie Sanders supporters on day one of the Democratic National Convention from comedian Sarah Silverman. And she is absolutely right. No question, Bernie Sanders became a phenomenon, energizing voters, many of them younger voters in his quest for the party’s nomination. He failed. He ran a remarkable campaign, and the level of support he generated may be unprecedented. But he lost nonetheless. You can blame the Superdelegates, and wouldn’t necessarily be wrong, but that is the system that is in place. But now his supporters are being stubborn, shouting down speakers at the convention, and somehow hoping that their candidate, the man who inspired them so, can somehow capture the nomination. Even Bernie Sanders knows that isn’t going to happen, and his urged his supporters to instead back Hillary Clinton in hopes of defeating Donald Trump. Still they remain behind Bernie. But that isn’t what the party needs. These delegates, and voters, need to align with Hillary for the good of the party. The leaked emails and suggestions of a rigged election aren’t helping of course, but the party needs to unify behind Hillary in order to win in November. But it seems so far at least, Sanders isn’t able to quell the revolt that he started.
