Voters are still feeling the Bern, but the flames are turning green. Some of Bernie Sanders’ highest profile supporters have publicly rebuked Sanders’ endorsement of Hillary Clinton. In protest of the endorsement, scores of Democratic voters plan to change their party affiliation. A large majority of these former Sanders’ voters are seeking refuge in the Green Party. Most of the defectors are calling on Bernie to join them and become the Green Party’s 2016 presidential nominee.

A large segment of Bernie Sanders’ voters are disappointed with the Democratic Party’s platform. Some have called it, “the Clinton crumbs.” Other supporters were baffled, and even angered, when Sanders endorsed Clinton. New proof that the Democratic National Committee deliberately undermined Sanders’ primary bid has hardened the animosity which many of his supporters feel toward the DNC. Even many life long Democrats feel betrayed. Some say they’ll never vote for another Democrat.

Deep fractures inside the Vermont senator’s political movement began to show on July, 7. In an interview taped for the Charlie Rose program that day, Sanders said, “We have got to do everything that we can to defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton.” Many self-described “Berners” switched their allegiance to Jill Stein on the spot; others held out until after the endorsement. Some fans have decided they will wait until after the convention before backing the Green Party.

Whispers of a possible upcoming endorsement were met with jeers on social media by “Bernie or bust” supporters. How could the “rock star” of the progressive movement endorse the woman Cornell West called, “the Milli Vanilli of American politics.” Even before the endorsement, Sanders supporters had begun to use the phrase, “If Bernie’s with Hill, I’m with Jill,” and the hashtag #JillNotHill.

Millions of voters would do anything for Bernie, but they won’t do that: they won’t support Hillary Clinton. Hillary says she’s, “a progressive who likes to get things done,” but to activists inside the progressive movement, she’s a pariah: the embodiment of pay-to-play, political corruption. For many of Bernie’s fans, the lesser of two evils between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is a riddle with no answer.

Professor Cornell West was one of Bernie Sanders most visible campaign surrogates during the Democratic primary. Sanders secured West a seat on the Democratic Party’s platform writing committee. When the committee had finished its work, West abstained from supporting the party’s platform. West contends that members from the Clinton camp thwarted the efforts made by progressives on the committee. In an interview with Amy Goodman, West lamented, “we lost over and over again because the Clinton people lined up and voted against it.”

Cornell West disagreed with Bernie Sanders’ endorsement of Hillary Clinton. West endorsed the Green Party’s presumptive nominee Jill Stein two days after Sanders’ endorsed Clinton. West explained, “This November, we need change. Yet we are tied in a choice between Trump, who would be a neo-fascist catastrophe, and Clinton, a neo-liberal disaster. That’s why I am supporting Jill Stein. I am with her — the only progressive woman in the race.”

In response to Bernie Sanders’ endorsement of Clinton, Jill Stein tweeted, “It sounds like the only good thing Bernie can say about Hillary is that she’s not Donald. That’s what most of her supporters like about her.” Donations to Stein shot up 999% immediately after Sanders endorsed Clinton. Two days after the endorsement, Stein was in Bernie’s home state of Vermont meeting with Sanders’ supporters. In a Meet the Press interview Stein said, “There’s a huge movement that Senator Sanders helped to lift up. That movement is looking for another place to go. It’s as if he endorsed our campaign because, truth to tell, when he endorsed Hillary, he opened the floodgates and his supporters are now pouring into our campaign through every possible means imaginable: as donors, as volunteers and on our social media.”

More smoke signals came from inside the Sanders camp on July, 23. One of the senator’s most vocal campaign surrogates, Nina Turner, was the co-keynote speaker with Jill Stein at an event hosted by Sanders’ supporters in Philadelphia. Turner has been reluctant to back Hillary Clinton. Many are looking to Turner to predict whether Bernie’s political revolution will continue outside of the Democratic party.

Millions of voters changed their party affiliation to Democrat in order to vote for Bernie Sanders in states with closed primaries. Once it was clear that Sanders’ would not be nominated, many of these voters no longer wished to be associated with the Democratic Party. On June, 24, Bernie Sanders’ supporters on Twitter began promoting an event they’ve dubbed “Demexit.” Demexit will begin on July, 29. Most voters are expected to change their affiliation to independent or Green Party.

On July, 23, Wikileaks released 19,252 emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee’s computers. The emails proved that the DNC actively sabotaged Bernie Sanders’ campaign throughout the primary. The hacks also reveal that main stream media colluded with the DNC to promote false narratives about Sanders. Lawsuits demanding that the DNC pay restitution to Sanders’ donors were filed the same day.

On July, 24, thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Philadelphia chanting, “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! H.R.C. has got to go!” The same day, Jill Stein renewed calls for Sanders to leave the Democratic Party and take her place as the Green Party’s presidential nominee. Bernie may not answer Jill’s call, but many of his supporters aren’t waiting. They’ve already begun to exit through the green door.
