1. He's a tool n/t

6. Yeah, he had no business being anywhere near a Democratic campaign.

If he wants to do is penance bashing repigs, good for him.

But the guy is slime.

Everyone talks about the 25 year smear campaign against HRC. He's one of the charter members.

7. He's definitely not everyone's favorite...

But Media Matters does some great work. And the letter is worth a read. Sorry to all for the bad link!

2. Here

Now, if I may, let me speak directly to your supporters: If you voted for Senator Sanders, you almost certainly realize that Trump is a very real threat to our way of life, our shared values, and our constitutional democracy. We are all now small-d democrats. What was said in the heat of a campaign cannot drive us apart in the face of such an overwhelming threat.
Let’s focus on our areas of agreement. Now is not the time for factionism. The real dividing line going forward in our party is not about ideological direction. It’s the question of whether to resist and oppose, or accommodate and appease.
Senator Sanders, we need to be bold and united. Without fear or hesitation, we must oppose Trump. We must stand up for and defend our shared values.
The progressive movement is strong and growing, thanks in large part to your candidacy, Senator Sanders, which electrified so many voters. The bedrock American values you championed — of pluralism, equality, and opportunity — are ones I share. And I hope that we can be partners in the fight ahead.
Sincerely
David Brock

3. Did you intend to include a link?

That link goes to some blog

[welivetotreadonkings]

5. Yeah I goofed that up. It's my phone.

It links to the medium home page rather than the article itself. My bad. It's worth a read if you Google search for it. I know he's a polarizing guy, but I think he makes some good points about the left needing to be united.
