He was not my primary choice, but Bernie Bashing is not gonna be helpful. The *vast* majority of Bernie supporters will vote for the Dem nominee. Don’t make that harder for them. You expect them to suck it up and do the right thing? Show them you doing it yourself.

This has never been an issues campaign for me, it’s been a “the only thing that matters is beating trump” campaign.

M4A, and other purity issues have been a total non factor in my own personal calculus.

So, Your reminder might be of better use with a slightly different crowd.

It is a shame, but that is how it is.





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
