A suggestion for the restoration of progressive unity:

19. Where to begin?

On #1: There are rabid Sanders supporters, many flocking back from the jackass site, who will ALWAYS treat Hillary as their personal pinata. NOBODY can stop them, and they continue to spread their poison long after the primaries were over. Just to clarify before someone jumps in with faux outrage, nobody is saying all Sanders supporters are jackass site immigrants.

#2: Bernie and his supporters were partially responsible for Trump's EC win. Many voted 3rd party (the odious Jill Stein), or a write-in, didn't vote at all, or even voted for Trump. This isn't me saying this, it comes directly from some of those supporters, BRAGGING about it. Nobody's saying they bear all of the responsibility; clearly there were many reasons for the EC disaster, including the EC itself. Of course, he should have been allowed to run; in fact, he was given special consideration by the DNC to run as a Democrat. (Personally, I believe that was a mistake by the DNC, but that's for another topic.)
