Ditto here, but I had come to terms with reality a couple of months ago already. This was just a foregone conclusion to it all. I hope they learned something about proportional allocation.

It's actually a bit more calm than I was thinking it would be, though. There aren't any actual riots yet, but we haven't gotten to Philadelphia, and I imagine those who would be rioting are still thoroughly convinced that an indictment is in the works.

A mix of...

"The people have spoken!"
"Well, this sucks."
"Oh, well..."
" the Democratic Party,  Hillary,  this country!"
"HELL YEAH!  BERNIE SANDERS!"
and
"What a surprise..."

My Facebook feed is mostly "It's sad that Sanders lost and Clinton is kind of meh, but we really need to beat Trump now!"

So pretty reasonable.

Friends are responding reasonably. All of them supported either Hillary or Bernie, and are now squarely behind Hillary. They want to defeat Trump, first and foremost.

We should be fine if we can get about 85-90% of Bernie's supporters.
