"We are all part of the Democratic Party," said Jessica Justice, a pledged delegate for Sanders. She told FoxNews.com calls to leave the Democratic Party are a last-minute distraction that will only deepen the current divide.

"We are here to continue the work we were sent here to do. We have no intention of leaving," she said, claiming some hardcore Sanders supporters and members of the Green Party are trying to capitalize on the drama.

She was reacting to efforts in Philadelphia at the close of the Democratic convention -- where Hillary Clinton is set to accept the nomination Thursday night -- by angry Sanders supporters to convince voters to "de-register" from the party. 

One such event by City Hall Thursday afternoon attracted protesters but few could be seen putting themselves on the political equivalent of the Democrats' 'do not call' list. 

Mother nature also had a hand in how some of the planned afternoon protests played out Thursday. Downpours and strong thunderstorms across the Philadelphia area put a pin in some people's plans. Those connected with the so-called #DemExit effort were telling supporters to skip an afternoon protest because of the storms.
