Good work Berners. Now even folks like Charles Pierce-who voted for Bernie are tired of your act and wants to you to 'pack up and go home.'

There are a number of reasons why Bernie lost this primary in a landslide. Overall, it's simple: he's not qualified to be President and Democrats just aren't that into him.
He tries to claim somehow the system was 'rigged' but in truth he's gotten 3 million fewer votes. The only way he could win under those conditions would be to: indeed, rig the system.
But the Berners have been a big drag for Bernie from day one. Now they are claiming Bernie was robbed in Nevada-even though Bernie actually lost Nevada.
The Berners have totally lost it now and basically rioted on Saturday. They tried to shout everyone down and then took to making death threats. Sure, this is the democratic way to do things: if you don't get what you want, threaten people. Sounds like the Donald Trump of the Left.
"The state Democratic Party has filed a stinging complaint with national Democrats over the "explosive situation" and "paranoid fantasy of fraud and delegate theft" created by Bernie Sanders supporters at Saturday's state convention, warning it could be a harbinger of what's to come in Philadelphia in July."
"The key section from party lawyer Bradley Schrager to the DNC's Rules Committee: "We believe, unfortunately, that the tactics and behavior on display here in Nevada are harbingers of things to come as Democrats gather in Philadelphia in July for our National Convention. We write to alert you to what we perceive as the Sander Campaign’s penchant for extra-parliamentary behavior—indeed, actual violence—in place of democratic conduct in a convention setting, and furthermore what we can only describe as their encouragement of, and complicity in, a very dangerous atmosphere that ended in chaos and physical threats to fellow Democrats."
"And Schrager is clear he the party does not believe this is band of rogue delegates: "The Sanders Campaign spent its time either ignoring or profiting from the chaos it did much to create and nothing to diminish or mitigate. It was clear to the NSDP that part of the approach by the Sanders Campaign was to employ these easily-incensed delegates as shock troops to sway the convention proceedings. At the very least, these delegates became a way for the Sanders Campaign to seek the advantage of disruption at any particular moment while trying to disavow any responsibility for their actions even as it was ongoing. At no time did any Sanders representative make anything more than token gestures towards peace in the hall, and at the times of most intense crisis offered little more than shrugs and smirks."
Sanders himself has yet to decry the death threats to state Chair Roberta Lange or the raucous antics of his followers.

Way to show leadership Bernie. And you talk about Donald Trump supporters, when your Berners are acting the very same way:
"Thrown chairs. Leaked cellphone numbers. Death threats spewed across the Internet."
"No, this is not the work of Donald J. Trump supporters, some of whom have harassed critics of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. It was angry supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders who were directing their ire at the NevadaDemocratic Party — and its chairwoman, Roberta Lange — over a state convention on Saturday that they think was emblematic of a rigged political system."
“It’s been vile,” said Ms. Lange, who riled Sanders supporters by refusing their requests for rule changes at the event in Las Vegas. “It’s been threatening messages, threatening my family, threatening my life, threatening my grandchild.”
"The vicious response has come as millions of new voters, many of whom felt excluded by establishment politicians, have flocked to the insurgent campaigns of Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump has all but locked up the nomination, but many backers of Mr. Sanders remain enraged as his hopes of being the Democratic candidate dwindle."
"The backlash against Ms. Lange in Nevada echoes what happened in Colorado last month when supporters of Mr. Trump bombarded Steve House, the chairman of the State Republican Party, with complaints of disenfranchisement. He received thousands of calls after his cellphone number was disseminated online."
"Supporters of Mr. Sanders used similar tactics to exert pressure on Ms. Lange, who has received more than 1,000 calls since Saturday night and as many as three text messages per minute. The threats, which came from men and women from across the country, were haunting and personal."
“Loved how you broke the system,” one person wrote in a text message that said he or she knew where Ms. Lange’s grandchildren went to school. “Prepare for hell. Calls won’t stop.”
"Another person left a voice mail message saying he thought Ms. Lange should be “hung in public execution” for her actions."
“I’m scared for my family,” Ms. Lange said. “Scared for my kids.”

Hanging? Now they sound like Donald Trump's butler.
"Michael Briggs, a spokesman for Mr. Sanders, said the Vermont senator did not condone violence of any kind. However, he said the campaign was still determining whether it would challenge the Nevada results."
"Challenge what? Bernie said that the candidate with the most votes should win each state. That was Hilary Clinton."
"The senator believes that the Democratic Party all over the country would serve its own interests better if it were to figure out a way to welcome people who have been energized and excited by his campaign into the party,” Mr. Briggs said. “It would behoove the party to be more welcoming and engage those people.”
What does he call welcoming? Awarding Bernie the nomination even though he lost by 3 million votes?
