Hillary Clinton has been fighting the liberal fight for 30 years, and all of sudden, she isn’t liberal enough. That’s crazy. It seems the bulk of Sanders' supporters are young liberals who haven’t ever helped the cause. While their elders have been voting and supporting Democrats the past 10+ years, many Bernie supporters have been staying home and thinking “politics is boring”.
And now that they have a candidate to cheer for, they couldn’t care less that splitting the party will kill any chance of winning big in November. They like being able to rail against something… anything.
It’s so true that we liberals have very little discipline. And that “wild streak” always keeps us from achieving the wonderful things we could in America. We’re like teenagers who want to go to their friend’s party because it will have booz… never thinking about whether driving home drunk may have dire consequences. Why worry about the consequences… just do what feels good.
Very sad for the progressive movement and America,

P.S. Perhaps even worse than the young Bernie supporters who just don’t know how change in America comes about (a piece at a time), are those who should know - like Susan Sarandon who wants to stick her finger up at the establishment even if it means the GOP will keep control of the Senate. How she came to hate Hillary Clinton is a shame - Hillary is not the enemy, the GOP is! But people like Sarandon want a socialist America; one that looks a lot like Cuba. She, like Bernie, are not Democrats, they are Independents who want a revolution… and look what that did to the Cuban middle class!
Sanders supporters don't believe this;
they believe it's their way or the highway;
so the GOP wins.
