Those idiots have been a thorn in the Sanders' campaign side for over a year. Let them vote for Jill Stein or Trump or Johnson. They're not the majority of Sanders' supporters and it's good that they have several other options now that Bernie's out of the race officially.
It's hard for me to understand those calling Bernie Sanders a sell out. He's been belittled and booed in the Democratic party for weeks because he wouldn't bow down and endorse Clinton until he got his main campaign points (which are what attracted his 13 million voting supporters) incorporated into the Democratic plaform. And, he largely succeeded in doing just that.
Still, some of his supporters are bitter that he didn't fight Clinton up until the convention and contest her nomination, even though he wouldn't have been able to influence the platform so strongly and had zero chance of winning if he'd chosen that doomed strategy.
