538: It’s Really Hard To Get Bernie Sanders 988 More Delegates

40. Here's my take on DU's alleged Bernie or Bust population

Numerous times on DU, the hypothetical GE match-up between Clinton and Trump has been discussed because they are leading their respective races. There is widespread, perhaps even universal agreement on DU that Trump is incredibly unqualified and is possibly the worst imaginable candidate except for Cruz. Given how horrible Trump is, numerous Sanders supporters still refuse to state a preference for Clinton in this hypothetical. This leads other DUers to consider these people to be part of the Bernie or Bust crew. To these other DUers, no Democrat is as bad as Trump so the choice is an easy one, even if they personally do not like Clinton. So anyone who refuses to make or state the same choice causes these people to be considered members of the Bernie or Bust crew. To make matters worse, many of these people become very defensive and offer questionable reasons for this refusal which only reinforces the belief that these people will vote for Bernie and no one else. Keep in mind, no candidate besides the Democrat or Republican has any chance to win the election.

I have no idea how many Bernie or Bust people are here on DU. The number is definitely greater than 0 but I cannot quantify it beyond use of the vague "some."
