Those "suckers" are your fellow citizens. But continue to divide and conquer yourself, see how far that gets ya.

You guys are still suckers. I'm not taking responsibility for how gullible you are. Some of us tried to warn you that Bernie was full of shit, but you didn't listen. Enjoy your shit sandwich, and remember: NO REFUNDS!

So I guess the Trump crowd gets to wait until November to be called suckers too. Oh wait, he does not want their money, until he does.
The fact that we have Berniecrats running and winning primaries and probably a few elections was well worth it. Non career politicians are taking part and running, which was what everyone wants, right? So no, I don't feel owed a refund, as I got what I want, more regular people participating in politics.
Also, I am 90% sure that party rules say he HAS to.

No need to antagonize them, especially when we're best off convincing them to cross over the imaginary line.

Any BernieBro who's legitimately offended by people making fun of their fraud of a candidate was never going to cross the aisle for Trump anyway. Easily-offended leftists are not going to vote for someone who triggers them.
I'm not going to play nice with parasites who feel entitled to an even bigger cut of my money. Not when they can't even be counted on to vote at all, they probably won't cross the aisle, and their conduct damages any campaign they're associated with by bringing on negative PR and scaring away moderate voters.
Any BernieBro who's genuinely willing to vote for Trump should suck it up and integrate instead of expecting us to coddle them.
