In case one's not aware, Wills, the William769 primitive, and fairy-boy HRMJustin are the appointed leaders of the supporters of Messalina Agrippina on Skins' island.
They definitely started off on the wrong foot, immediately giving ground to the Bernie bullies, hoping that if they were nice to the Bernie bullies, the Bernie bullies would be nice to them.
Yeah, right.
They came damned close to losing Skins's island; fortunately Skins, seeing the peril, shoved the two of them temporarily aside and took charge, so as to get it back into the natural order of things.

Why are you still in the race, Bernie?
Sen. Bernie Sanders’s magic-wand campaign has grown tiresome. Despite his win in Indiana and #DropOutHillary trending on Twitter as of this writing, the democratic socialist from Vermont’s chances of becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee are as slim as Karlie Kloss’s dress at Monday’s Met Gala. And yet Sanders is on the campaign trail demanding things of his adopted party that can’t be delivered and saying things about rival Hillary Clinton that Donald Trump is already using against her.
During a speech in Oregon on April 28, Sanders outlined reforms he’d like to see the Democratic Party undertake. “In those states where it’s applicable, we need same-day registration, we need open primaries,†he said. “It turns out sadly that the poorest in this country, many in the South, where people are suffering without health insurance, without jobs, without access for decent education for their kids, in many of those states they are controlled by right-wing Republicans.†And then there was this. “The Democratic Party has got to make very clear we need automatic voter registration. All over this country we have Republican governors trying to make it harder for people to vote,†he said. “Our job is to make it easier. Bring more people into the system and that means if you are 18 years of age you are registered to vote, end of discussion.â€
Everything Sanders said is right and true. More people, not fewer, should be allowed to participate. There should be open primaries. There should be same-day registration. There should be automatic voter registration for 18-year-olds. But how, when and whether people vote is controlled by the states. And Republican governors sit in 31 states, with 22 of them having GOP-controlled legislatures. So, unless Sanders has a magic wand or one last wish held in escrow by a genie, none of what he wants will get done.
Even more ridiculous is Sanders’s insistence that superdelegates choose him over Clinton. As reporters at The Post, NPR and Vox have pointed out, even if superdelegates in states that Sanders won switched from her to him he’d still lose the nomination. And those folks don’t really have any incentive to do so. With Tuesday’s results from the Indiana primary factored in, Clinton now has 3.1 million more raw votes than Sanders. So the superdelegates are already backing a winning candidate.

Well, we'll see where this new assertiveness takes the primitives supportive of the worthier candidate, but really, it should've happened long before now.
I suppose Wills has a good excuse--I dunno what pansy-boy HRMJustin's excuse is--for being rather lackadaisical in supporting his candidate.
And it illustrates the difference between the supporters of the lady, and the Bernie bullies.
Wills is truly and genuinely terminal, as a consequence of his chosen lifestyle and conduct. He's very ill, and has more "bad" days than "good" days.
The big guy in Bellevue, Omaha Steve, a Bernie bully, is
allegedly terminal, as a consequence of his chosen lifestyle and unsatiable mouth and stomach.
The difference is that Wills takes his destiny like a man; he doesn't like it, but he endures it, stoically. He fully understands the causes of his ailments, and its consequences. This is a guy paying for his sins in this life, rather than waiting until the next one.
And he doesn't brag about it, doesn't ask for pity because of it.
Compare that, please, with the conduct of the big guy in Bellevue, a Bernie bully, remember.
That's the difference between a supporter of Messalina Agrippina, and a Bernie bully; one of them a class act, the other a rectal aperture.
