If you felt a ripple in the universe yesterday, that was Bernie Sanders going through with his endorsement of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for POTUS.
On Tuesday, Bernie Sanders took the stage in New Hampshire, with Clinton by his side, and made the announcement all Bern fans have been dreading:
"Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process, and I congratulate her for that. She will be the Democratic nominee for president, and I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States. I have come here today not to talk about the past but to focus on the future. That future will be shaped more by what happens on November 8 in voting booths across our nation than by any other event in the world. I have come here to make it as clear as possible as to why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president."
Many of Bernie's loyal fans were shocked. It didn't take long, however, for the conspiracy theories to float around. One of the most popular conspiracy theories is that Clinton threatened him politically, and personally. They base their theory on the fact that he looked somber as he made his endorsement.
Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump trolled his way into the conversation, calling Sanders a "sell out."

So what does this all mean for Sanders' voters? Well, according to chatter in many Bernie Sanders Facebook groups, and on his fanpages, many are looking to Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, whose message of a political revolution mirrors that of Bernie Sanders. There are some who are actually considering voting for Donald Trump. A great majority of Sanders voters refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton, and have made their message clear with hashtags, #NeverHillary and #NotWithHer.

One question that is unclear to many voters is: Has Bernie Sanders exited the race? The answer to that is, yes. According to his Wiki page, he has officially suspended his campaign (His email to those on his mailing list also announced his exit). One conspiracy theory that is out there is that Sanders only endorsed Clinton in order to make it to the DNC and clinch the nomination out from under her. This has happened one time before with FDR.
Can Sanders pull an 'FDR' on us? I don't know.

My Two Cents

With Bernie Sanders out of the race, I don't know where to swing my vote. One thing is for sure, I'd rather drink rancid toilet water than to vote for Donald Trump. Looks like I will have to choose between Jill Stein, and selling my soul by voting for Hillary Clinton.
