Bernie Sanders supporters share their gratitude with #ThankYouBernie
Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton claimed the Democratic presidential nomination, but her opponent Bernie Sanders vowed to stay in the race.
Although The New York Times reported that Sanders planned to lay off half of his staff and delegate math is not in his favor, many of his supporters claim to be #BernieOrBust.

Despite Tuesday night's huge victory for Clinton and her supporters, Sanders backers flooded Twitter with love for the Vermont senator.
Many of the tweets pointed out the impact Sanders has had on the nation, noting that he has inspired the youth, ignited a political revolution and has been fighting a progressive agenda for decades.
#ThankYouBernie for proving that a true progressive agenda just needs to get a bit of media coverage to catch on like wildfire.
