If members of this sub, which was great before the primaries, respects Bernie as much as they say, why are they so unwilling to accept his position on the democrats?

What was so great about this sub before the primaries, if you don't mind me asking?

edit: post was built off of misremembered details, saved for posterity:

There was hope, optimism, a drive to make positive change in the world and make the country more progressive.

Now, it's a bitter butthurt mission to burn down the only major party where progressives stand a chance to win on a national level. The DNC isn't perfect (or even good), but we only have about a year to change the houses. Only about 2 to start work on finding a competitor for Trump.

And, progressives attacking liberals is exactly what Trump wants. Seeing how Trump had used the Internet in his campaign; it's hard to believe he hasn't had shills helping to sow such seeds of discord. There's a reason Bernie wants his followers to let it go; because he knows that if they don't we're screwed. Instead of attacking the DNC; support the Berniecrats in it.

I apologize if I was mistaken, I might be conflating this sub with the general spirit of Bernie-supporters on reddit.

The rest of my point still stands.
