Bernie Sanders supporters are known for their steadfast loyalty to the socialist Vermont Senator, and some are promising to sit at home on Election Day if Joe Biden becomes the party’s nominee. These supporters warn that nominating another establishment candidate will ensure Trump’s reelection because they’ll sit it out.
Sanders’ supporters feel he “isn't getting his due though he's proven to have staying power in public opinion and fundraising, even after suffering a heart attack last October,” reports the Washington Examiner. “As of last week, he leads a tight four-horse race in Iowa ahead of the first-in-the-nation caucuses on Feb. 3, raising a record figure of $34.5 million in the final financial quarter of 2019 for a total of $96 million.” Despite his strengths in the primary, they feel he’s being ignored and underestimated, and the possibility of nominating a socialist-lite candidate, they say, will dampen the enthusiasm of the grassroots.
“When I look at some of these other candidates out there, I can see them just sucking any enthusiasm from any undecided voters. So anyone who might have been for Bernie won’t vote for Biden, or any of the others out there,” said Joe Jackelen, a Bernie Sanders supporter in Iowa, to the Washington Examiner. “I think that people will sit at home because they see establishment Democrats that don’t really care. The only thing that they bring to the table is that they’re not Trump. That is not going to drive enough people out that will get a win over Trump,” he added.
Will Bernie Sanders’ diehard supporters will actually sit out the election if Bernie doesn’t win the nomination in appreciable numbers?

Oh, what a shame.
Most Bernie supporters are unemployed ass wipes that live in Moms basement so no biggie. They can hone up on their gaming skills!!
Ain't that a crying shame.;-)
The only way for them to defeat Trump at this point is to assassinate him.
And you better believe they’re looking for a way to do it.
Sadly, that would be ok to the deep state global oligarchy. Sure, Biden (and Warren) is the easiest candidate for them to control. He is so filthy that he has to jump for them. But they profit off the hatred for a Republican President too.
And they think this is going to make an impact on the election?
Perfect!!
Vote Biden in the primary! Cross over, everyone!
Yeah, right.
Next thing we will hear is that if President Trump is re-elected, they are going to leave the country.
BULLSCHIFF!
Isn’t that what most of them do..while waiting for their check first of the month?
No matter who the Democrats nominate from their field so far, some block of the Left will sit at home.
Bernie voters are like Trump voters in that they hate secret oligarchies that use them. They are actually voting FOR Sanders, not just against the opponent(s). They are voting anti corruption just like trump voters.
We heard that about Hillary supporters in 2008. And yet they all showed up and voted for Obama.
They could try sitting on their hands, but might wind up sitting on gropet Joe’s hand.
CAREFUL. One of the reason We got Obama is by people crossing over to screw up Hillary. Operation Chaos ala Rush.
They are full of crap. They threatened this last time; just like the Hollywood scumbags who keep saying they will leave America. I call BS!
Bernie should just wait until 2024.
