As for the disappointment some of his supporters may be feeling, he says that “being despondent and inactive is not going to improve anything,” and argues that the political revolution “will continue after the election. It will continue until we create a government which represents all of us and not just the 1 percent—a government based on the principle of economic, social, racial, and environmental justice.”

Sanders formally endorsed Clinton last month, and that, Cleveland.com wrote this week, “splintered his backers into different camps: those who now support Clinton, those who refuse to, and those who are still on the fence.”

Among the Sanders supporters refusing to back Clinton is 38-year-old Vanessa Tijerina, who told the Guardian that “the movement […] cannot stay in a centrist environment.”

One Sanders surrogate who is now backing Clinton is Tulsi Gabbard. She told the Honolulu Star -Adviser, “Given the remaining choices, like Bernie Sanders, I will be casting my vote for Hillary Clinton.”

“Moving forward, as a veteran and someone who knows firsthand the cost of war, I am going to continue to push for an end to counterproductive interventionist wars and lead our country toward a path toward peace,” Gabbard said.
