        His supporters are still upset that he had the most successful grassroots campaign in US history and then bent the knee to the DNC in 2016 instead of fighting for the American people.

        He is a coward, it’s a fact

          He was sandbagged by (then-DNC Chair) Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in favor of Hilldog. Once the primaries were done he had to get on board, just like we all did, even if it fucking sucked.

            He didn’t have to do anything.

            When he knew he was literally cheated out of the primary he had the option to use his movement to run as an independent. And he would have if he had balls. Anyone with eyes could see that the people hated Hillary Clinton being shoved down our throats.

            The young people that came out in droves for Bernie Sanders did not come out and support him to be bait and switched.
