2. Bernie is working hard to get voters out to vote for Democrats.

I got a notice from him to that effect. Let's see if we can't as a party be more united than we were in 2016.

Let's put our values as Democrats over the divisions that we sometimes like to deepen with our bitterness.

Being united wins elections. The things we Democrats disagree about are pretty minor in my view. Let's focus on the important things we agree on like a better economy and better opportunities for racial and ethnic minorities.

Looking forward to hearing more of what Bernie has to say to a large televised national audience in terms of his future-oriented agenda that, we as a country need to unite and rally around, while, at the same time, leading the resistance to the racist Nazi-in-Chief.

Some people on our side still have their teeth clamped on the 2016 primary, like a pit bull who just won't let go.

If Bernie is so awesome why doesn’t he build up an Independent bloc and stop sipping off Democratic kool-aid.

He is urging people to vote for Dems.
Calling Democrats "feeble" and "corrupt" and "ideaologically bankrupt" makes any efforts sound totally hollow and insincere.

All I'm trying to say is that when you consider everything that's come before, and all the smears and attacks he's aimed at the Democratic party, any "urging" he's doing now really does have the appearance as being rote and a bit perfunctory or rehearsed.

I was able to watch bill’s opening, and then fast forward through Bernie’s boring bit in a matter of seconds. It was glorious.

... there's no need for anyone to subject themselves to hearing things like that whenever it can be easily avoided with the press of a "FF" or "Skip" button.
