Disappointing as I'd vastly prefer voting for Bernie over Hillary in the general election, but this was inevitable from the start.

Good
I'm sorry, but this really pains me to see. I'm not sure what background these people come from but this is really super entitled bullshit. These are the same people that think minorities aren't educated enough because they are voting for Hillary. As an immigrant (and I am sure a lot of others feel this same way) came to this country because we love this country and all the great things about it, and truly appreciate it for it's opportunities and want to preserve and improve upon that in any way we can. We have seen first hand the great things this country is, and also have felt the challenges (either being minorities, or starting economically weak). In that sense, it's heartbreaking to see so called progressives being okay with "burning it to the ground". It is literally un-American.
Literacy is a tool of establishment that tries to mind control your brain. Don't fall for it!

Good speech, glad he is standing with her and has had such a positive effect on the democratic platform.

Honestly? Great speeches by both Bernie and Hillary. I'm excited for the months ahead.
That was probably one of Hillary's better speeches of the campaign IMO. Fired up, funny, and an attack dog.

Gotta say, Bernie did more than I thought by staying in this long. Seems to have made a couple jigs to Hillary's policies that his supporters should be happy with.
Unless Hillary was gonna play that all along and she plays us like a banjo (with backing sax from Bill of course)

The "establishment" (what a vague term) has been pretty nice to Sanders.
After the California primaries, most of the congressmen and women who went on TV said that Bernie should be able to finish out his campaign as he pleases and they thanked him for bringing many issues to light.
The Democratic Party and its members by and large didn't tell Bernie to drop out. It was Hillary supporters and those in the media.

It's going to be so entertaining watching this shithole squirm in November.
Very different reception between the two after their speeches than before. They were both awkward and stiff before, and after Sanders' speech, it was Clinton that had to initiate a hug. After Clinton's speech, it was Sanders that initiated it by putting his arm around her. They got more comfortable with each other during this.

Apparently they've always been affectionate to each other off-camera during the debates. We just like to create monsters.

Then they were never about Bernie in the first place.
I started out liking Bernie's ideas more initially, but quickly noticed he was tone deaf of issues that were important to minorities beyond socioeconomics. Hillary's campaign had their shit together for the most part, and she continues to acknowledge implicit bias and bigotry as a major issue in America.
Either way I would've supported either candidate. When you're black and fully understand what's at stake with the supreme court and other initiatives, you can't afford to play chicken with your voting decisions.

The problem for some was that it was more about being anti Hilary than pro Bernie. Glad to work with the people that actually want to promote bernies goals though.
Thanks for sharing...really echos my perspective as an immigrant.
It's easier for the media to create "they hate each other!" headlines because anger and frustration get bigger reactions and more clicks, but there may have been some truth in that. Compared to how Clinton and Warren or Clinton and Obama entered their rallies together with a lot of hugging and touching, this one's entrance didn't have much of that. But when they ended, there was more smiling and touching.

All things considered between the candidates this was a very clean primary fight. Almost zero mudslinging at each other.
This is making me realize how much I despise seeing "Here's why" in headlines.
Alternatively, if you took his platform seriously, you should watch how vigorously the current nominee and party support the part of his proposals they've adopted.
Also, please save the Reddit crap for Reddit. You can readily participate and mock them there, no need to continue dragging that crap over here.

I have to wonder how many of these guys are old enough to even vote in the first place.

Agreed on all points. I was more than happy to say my piece and block those morons. I don't know how anyone can be so selfish to vote for Trump for such a petty reason without thinking of the consequences that will arise from it. So what if Sanders didn't win? You're honestly gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that you're gonna vote for Trump and basically destroy this country?!?! Man I usually don't get this angry about politics, but that shit just pushed me over the edge.

Warms my heart to see Bern and Hill camps coming together in unity <3
Indeed. It's been a long couple of months.
Now we need to give the GOP the blasting they deserve

Expected and glad it's over with. Now I just want to see trump lose, neogaf stop shitting on bernie every single thread, and for us all to grab a pint at the Winchester while this whole thing blows over.
Edit: Alot of people that rooted for Bernie did not actually care about politics. I loved the guy but when most of your demographic is young people who have never followed an election.... yeah

At the end of the day, Sanders support will still mobilize some people to vote for Hillary. Some people were never going to vote for her no matter what.
They can fantasize that the Green Party would hit the ground running if they won the Presidency and bring about the change that the platform promises.
