Not emotional at all, just trying to make sense of it. Can you explain it to me?

Hey, your outrage is perfectly understandable. Especially given the even handed treatment you have given the outrageous actions by mr Trump.

I think a couple you have got it wrong.  First of all, Sanders started a movement, a political revolution if you want to label it as such.  His message resonated with many more people than was predicted when he began his campaign.

The DNC and others took notice even if the media didn't.  After losing the nomination he continues to have an impact.  For example, because of his and his supporters efforts, the number of 'super delegates' will be reduced from 600+ to something like 200, he wanted Debbie Wassman Schultz removed as chair of the DNC and she was, he opposes TPP and Clinton moved to his side of the issue, he wanted to have a say in the D-Tribe platform and they gave it to him, he wanted more open primaries and now there will be.

Sanders wants change from the bottom up, not from the top down.  Winning the presidency is only a piece of the big picture, but the real change will begin with influencing mayoral races, governorships, school board reps, local and state elected officials, and so on.

I'm asking you to look past this convention, DNC politics, and superficial fusses fanned with the flames provided by media outlets and think about what he stands for.  Political revolutions start at the bottom.  Sanders has made that clear.  It is now up to his supporters to join the political process and keep his message alive. 

Bernie doesn't need to be president to affect change and neither do you.  You can make a difference by getting involved.

I under estimated Senator Sanders. Bernie is a class act.

 
Does he have them programmed so that they'll just fall in line and do what he says though? Based on his speech earlier, I don't think so.

And how much is Hillary paying Bernie? Just a couple of months ago Bernie himself claimed (rightfully so) that Hillary is totally unqualified to serve as president, now he supports her even after proof has come out that the primaries were rigged for Clinton? This just doesn't make any sense, unless he is receiving a large payday from this.

In any case, Bernie has now shown himself to be a man with no principles.

So, you love Bernie, Right up to the moment he refuses to endorse your candidate?
Do you have any evidence that Hillary is paying Sanders, or is this just the typical make it up as you go BS of the trumpers?
 

 
Cool story.  Do you have anything of substance to add to the thread?

The crime being expressing opinions that you don't like

What crimes was she charged with?
What jury convicted her?
You are criminalizing people you don't like
