Here's the thing about Bernie supporters, or what should be the thing: They are mostly liberals and progressives. If liberals and progressives actually want to vote for the party that will destroy their ideas and strip their rights, good for them, no complaining later on though. But if they're true liberals and progressives, do you think they'll vote against Hillary for Trump or Cruz? This acting like Hillary, who agrees with Bernie on 80% of the issues, is the enemy and voting for Trump, who agrees with 20% of their issues, is the alternative...that's pretty ####ed up don't you think?
Or maybe there's actually a significant chunk of Bernie's vote that is anarchists who just want destruction and don't care who does it, be it Bernie or Trump. Voters who just want the establishment to be destroyed so much, they aren't voting for interests or issues, they're voting for chaos.
