And yet you'd think it'd be better for Trump to win because he'll "destroy the system" (ignoring how he's surrounding himself with nothing but, well, "the system")

So you're essentially admitting you're an anarchist more than you are a progressive. You just supported Bernie more because he was the likable anarchy candidate. A Trump win means pretty good chance progressive causes get crushed and buried for ages to come. So if you're rooting for Trump to win, I guess you should probably hand in your progressive card now.

I sure hope the Democrats find a better strategy to woo disgruntled Sanders-supporters than trying to shame them.

Clinton won the nomination. It was done with some under the table tactics from the party establishment. It is frustrating to Clinton supporters because she didn't need to even go near the games and shadiness, but she did.

But Clinton supporters need to get off the high horse, get off the moral ivory towers and start listening. They are the only ones in the entire country who think the status quo is actually working. No one else does.
