Carrie Gilroy, a delegate pledged to Sanders from the 25th Congressional District, said Tuesday's announcement was certainly a letdown.
"It's been a tough day. We were behind Bernie. He was our choice — he is our choice," Gilroy said. "This endorsement is not going to change too many minds. People want what they want, and they see this glimpse of an honest politician fighting for the people, and they're not going to give that up easily."
While the Irondequoit resident is committed to Sanders through her status as a delegate, Gilroy, 39, conceded Monroe County for Bernie Sanders may choose to change its title. Despite the disdain, though, the activism and call for change Sanders is credited for setting in motion is not likely to slow down, Gilroy said.
"It doesn’t matter who's endorsing who — the ideas are out of the box," Gilroy said. "I believe the political revolution Bernie Sanders started is here to stay. I don't think we're all just going to roll over and go back to the status quo."
Bernie Sanders supporters react to Clinton endorsement
the Bernie supporters seem mixed at best....a lot of them are not happy with the Hillary endorsement it seems
For those of you who were Bernie supporters on here, what is your take?
Is the democratic ticket the important thing?
Or is it Bernie's ideas and changing the status quo as one of these people said?
