Jesus Christ. Go fuck yourself Bernie. I'm so fucking sick of this shit.
Y'know, even a week ago, I probably would have had this exact same reaction if I heard about him still doing this. But now... I just don't really care, and if anything am only just slightly sad but more or less have come around to Stump's position of this not really mattering at this point and feeling that he can just do what he wants and get it out of his system now due to that.
I mean, I definitely understand not wanting to take any chances at all when it comes to Trump, but Clinton's latest polls have proven to be very favorable already even without Sanders dropping out and endorsing her. And most Sanders supporters have proven themselves to indeed understand all that's at stake at this election and come over to support Hillary, if only begrudgingly but supporting her nonetheless, and more seem to do that by the day now that the primary's over. The few that haven't or refuse to do so will likely continue to hold that position regardless of what Sanders himself says or does, which is definitely frustrating but since they really do seem to be few at this point really doesn't matter.
Thus, all Sanders continuing to stay in the race does, if he indeed does not drop out on Thursday, is just further reduce his leverage each and every day he does as most people seem to be moving on without him anyway and the few faithful he has left were never going to vote for Clinton regardless of what he says or does. So if anything... it's kinda sad and frustrating, yes, but at the same time if he really wants to keep on fighting, that only weakens his position to make demands at the Convention further and further, making it easier and easier to ignore him and his demands if he indeed does try and take anything that far and just completely shut him out at that point because at the rate things are going he will have nothing left to fight with at the convention anyway.
If anything, to me, it really is kinda sad because he definitely did have a large movement behind him at one point, but he himself seems to have squandered that. Like, he could have tried mobilizing them for downticket races and stuff... but beyond some token gestures when the Hillary camp started calling him on his lack of downticket support, he didn't really make much actual noise about that at all and thus the few candidates that he did endorse failed their primaries because Sanders chose to just give the same stump speech wherever he went instead of actually putting in some serious effort to trying to get those people elected. And it seems to be the same situation now: he's just refused to give his supporters anything to do but listen to the same stump speech over and over and try to get him elected, and now that the primary's over and that's no longer possible and he continues to beat that same horse anyway... they just move on without him, and his "revolution" gets smaller and smaller and smaller by the day, as evidenced by both the declining population and activity of r/s4p and how many of them have jumped aboard to support Hillary already.
And really, I do have to say that is kind of sad, because he quite easily could have done so much more with that support he had and he definitely could have tried leveraging it to get some of the change he wanted accomplished, but he just let that slip away instead and thus the longer he draws this out the less leverage he has for the Convention and stuff as well. He really has no one to blame for that but himself.
And that's why, even though just a week ago I probably would have felt the same as you because I don't want to take any chances with Trump at all and don't want Sanders pulling any games that could even slightly affect November at all, at this point I just can't really bring myself to feel anything about him or what he decides or do, because I just don't see the point to. This race is clearly moving forward, with him, or without him. It's up to him what he wants to do with that information and whether he wants to jump aboard himself or keep fighting, but either way I can't see what he really decides ultimately mattering too much one way or the other because he's already dragged things on too long and thus people have moved on without him, so I just can't really bring myself to care (which is really kinda freeing, honestly and it's nice not having to worry about him or what he does anymore).
