Could have fooled me given how childish Clinton is behaving and her willingness to discard an electoral victory for the sake of her wealthy benefactors and neoliberal policies.

Bernie supporters merely want a voice commensurate with their constituency in the party,
Some of them are respectful, yes. But not all of them. Others want to dominate the discussion with their needs and their views, regardless of what anyone else has to say. This radical subset has become their own worst enemy. They will not listen to anyone but themselves and their leader.
and 44% should translate to a damn loud voice, even if it's a minority one. Again, there is a substantive difference between getting some of the things you want from Bernie's platform, and nothing, and thus far, Clinton seems to insist on the latter come hell or highwater; that is the very definition of puerile stubbornness, particularly coming from someone who claims to be a unifier and leader of the Democratic party, and this is the reason for entirely justified outrage among his supporters. Again, you Hillarites continue to falsely frame this as an attempt to usurp power or control in disproportion to Bernie's support because that is politically expedient for you, when in fact the real fight is about having a voice and influence commensurate to the movement's vote; Clinton seems to think that it should be all or nothing, and we disagree completely.
You should not throw stones in a glass house.
