If anything the vast majority of Bernie supporters are policy oriented, not personality oriented. They liked Bernie because he stood for the kind of social democratic policies they believe in.

The few of those who weren't like that were on the internet in places like Twitter. Most progressives will eventually vote for the eventual Dem nominee apart from a vocal minority.
