It's because they've adopted Hillary as their enemy through the primary process. Since they believe she only won because of mass voter fraud, conspiracies by the DNC, non-open primaries, or whatever other melange of excuses they wanna believe, they think she personally stole the election from Bernie. And that without her cheating ways Bernie would have won the primary, dominated Trump in the general, and then implemented his ideas with no issue, they'd all be stunningly successful, and America would only elect progressives until the end of time.
Wittynickname is the best poster in this thread because she understands it all starts at the bottom, go after the local races and get progressives everywhere. The hardcore Bernie or Busters believed Bernie as President means everything is instantly solved. Nevermind that he'd be obstructed way more than Obama, and as a 74-year old they can make him a lame duck on day 1 just by obstructing. He's not a dictator, he has to work with Congress and the Senate. And there will never, ever, be 218 progressive Congresspeople and 60 progressive Senators. And that's what you need to pass anything.
