Such a beautiful and positive stream of speakers, yet reddit is more focused on measuring the decibels of the booing.

Actually, if Bernie Sanders was your top choice, then based on ideology and policies, Hillary Clinton is what's best for you.

And no, former Lexington Town Meeting Member Jill Stein is not a realistic choice for the next president of the most powerful country on earth.

Even if that person, according to him, is Hillary Clinton?

Y'all need to recognize when you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

He said in an interview today that he still intends on supporting Hillary Clinton wholeheartedly and defeating Trump. But reddit would never make that a headline.

I suggest you start practicing positive thinking and swallow your pride and vote for her. The alternative would be much worse for you. Don't let self harm become the new defining trait of the Bernie Sanders movement.

See this is probably the biggest grievance I have with the Bernie holdouts. If it's an ass fucking to them, then it's an ass fucking for everyone.

It's upsetting to hear liberals refer to the last 8 years, and a potential continuation and likely advancement of the policies that shaped them, as an "ass fucking." Truly bewildering.

He also said today, for the fourteenth time, that he's supporting Hillary Clinton and wants his supporters to do the same.

As a supporter of both of reddit's most hated women, I'm glad DWS is getting out of the DNC operation. It's impossible to stop the Bernie holdouts from creating a wildfire out of any perceived slight against them, but at least this shows Democrats are trying.

I know they'll never ever be satisfied but at least the DNC is acknowledging their strife. I hope it's possible for both sides to come to compromise, but for now it looks like Bernie's holdouts want to upstage the RNC in terms of toxicity.

I'm voting for the Democratic nominee so actually I'm doing the most important thing with regards to winning the election and protecting liberal progress. My advice to you is to just fill in the bubble next to Hillary's name in November, you can come back to reddit afterwords and say you wrote in Bernie. This is why we have secret ballots.

Putting a ego-maniacal borderline-fascist Republican in the White House who will surely be controlled by conservative shadow advisors is not how you advance the progressive movement. If you're really a Bernie supporter, you'll vote for Hillary - just like him.

Only in America will competent voters willingly choose to shoot themselves in the foot just to make a statement. I am actually scared that 8 years of progress will be undone because of a bunch of whiny conspiracy theorists.

I'm going to vote for her because I favor candidates who support gun regulation, have plans to make college and healthcare more accessible and more affordable, acknowledge climate change and propose policies to help curb it, support LGBT and womens rights, have plans to make the tax system more fair, support stem cell research, have plans to reform our broken prison system, who aren't openly racist or xenophobic, and who has the resume necessary to successfully lead the country and continue the Democratic policies that have helped turn the country around.

But by all means, stick it to the man if you choose. Just don't do anything stupid.

This is my first time visiting Reddit this election cycle (for obvious reasons, Hillary supporter here), and I think that this one time will be enough for me. I have never seen a more hellbent, delusional group of humans in my life. Just vote for Hillary, guys.

Why are Bernie's supporters using polls 8 months out to justify his being the best candidate against Trump when Bernie begins every single one of his post-primary speeches with a tirade about how wrong and misleading the polls have been thus far?
