If his supporters will stop doing what they are doing, I will wish him well. Democrats must act united.

1) What the hell does that mean, "stop doing what they are doing?"
2) Do democrats refrain from criticizing each other's record during a primary?  It is, after all, a primary

1) To stop breaking Democratic Party from the inside with their destructive approach, to treat moderates or mainstreamers nearly as the same enemies like GOP. When you're a part of a family, you don't act like that, you don't simply try to hijack the whole Democratic Party, you know that there is a hierarchy you must abide and follow.
2) Yes, I am aware that this is primary and all in all, politics, but please look at my reply above.

No, that's literally the opposite of the purpose of a party primary. Might as well abolish primaries altogether if no criticism of fellow candidates is allowed for fear of "disunity".

Truly amazing how many people (presumably mostly the younger types) think 2016 or 2020 thus far has been "nasty" or "divisive"; they must not remember what 2008 was like.

I have to agree here. Its so weird how people are treating criticism of any candidate as some kind of attack that cannot be allowed(weird enough, its coming more from the anti-Bernie crowd than the Pro-Bernie crowd). The whole point of a primary is for divisiveness so you can air out grievances and pick a candidate that the party can largely agree on. If a candidate cannot be fact-checked or criticized, whats the point of a Democratic Primary?

But do all the democratic banter, the cause of conflict, of division in democracy justify outright acting against the rest of the party like most of progressives does? Most of progressives doesn't seem to care about these things, they just like to whine and bitch about "Bernie would have won" or "corrupt Clintons", "corrupt Democratic Party". The priest forgets that he was a clerk.

You've spent way too much time on the internet, my friend.

Not on the progressive side of it, that is true.

So that "imminency" lasts for a one week and a half now.

I have to be honest - 4 millions in 12 hours and 5,4 millions views on twitter are really huge. Bernie still has the potential, but is that real potential, or potential artificially pumped by Bernie Bros.
