Patriots?

How is not even wanting to talk about the 30,000+ annual deaths at the end of a barrel thought of as being patriotic?  When people die and someone's first response is to protect the tool that was used to take their lives, I actually find that pretty sick.

I can't wait for Hillary to introduce common sense gun laws

You find it "sick"? When politicians are spouting off lies and nonsense and trying to infringe on these people's rights due to the actions of criminals, of course they are going to respond.

Rights that were given in 1791 by people who'd sh*t down both legs if they saw the kinds of arsenals some Americans own today  the 2nd amendment needs amending.

Bringing up lies is a bit useless seeing as both sides of the argument have misconstrued, contorted, omitted, and created entire falsehoods. The difference is one is advocating for weapons, one is advocating for safety.

Again, I can't wait until common sense laws that've worked in other nations are brought into effect here

The day she gets the presidency over Trump will be a day to celebrate. 

The day she gets the nomination over Sanders isn't a day to celebrate. 

A sad day thats been a long time coming. 

I look forward to November when there'll be a good reason to be thrilled at anything to do with Hillary. 

Wow, you found the perfect words I've been searching for to describe my feelings about all of this.  <3

She got over 3.5 million votes more than him.  She won in key demographic states, and he didn't connect with the African American voters that were needed to win.  She did.

Bernie did a great job, but you can read analyses of his campaign in many articles, and the numbers were never there for him to pull off a win..  And let's not forget, Hillary fought to the end when she ran against Obama and received 18 million votes and still lost.  She had the class to give a gracious concession speech and was devastated also. .  Her supporters were also as devastated as the Bernie supporters, and it wasn't always a pretty primary and a lot of bitter and hurt feelings.  But she looked at the greater good for the Party and supported Obama.

She understands Bernie's pain.  She's been there.   A bunch of bitchy emails and one that mentioned his religion did not cost him the election.  It was crappy, but she still won because she had far more votes.

Bernie accomplished a lot from his run and leveraged it into good progressive change for the Party..

I wasn't talking about the number of votes per se, but rather the fact that the election of the democratic nominee was completely rigged from the beginning. Bernie never had a chance with all major networks ignoring him most of the time and him standing up to the big corporations while Hillary had all of their support.

Money talks louder than anything and I honestly believe that Bernie would have had a good shot at winning, if it wasn't for the people around Hillary, making sure that Bernie didn't get a chance to promote his campaign effectively.

This is incorrect. The major networks gave equal time to Hillary and Bernie, once he had started being remotely competitive. The only one who had more time than Bernie and Hillary was Trump and he was way over their time.

Yes, money does talk and Bernie spent just as much, and actually more in many states, during the primaries. He didn't win because he didn't get a significant amount of the minority vote. He had every chance that anyone else had to campaign effectively, but simply didn't get enough votes of delegates to get the nomination.
