Bashing Bernie does not help Hillary.

and, bashing Hillary does not help us bring about progressive revolution.

I implore all here, when you get the urge to say anything negative at this point in the process, about either of these candidates, to conquer that urge.

Unity does not come about if both sides are sore losers or sore winners.

We need to ensure that Hillary wins.

Winners are allowed to be celebratory and jubilant and all of the other things that come along with winning.

I heard from Bernie what I needed to last night.

Now, if we can just get the Bernie or Bust crowd which appears to be no more than 10% or so, we should have this in the bag.

Up to the point that DC voted, I was willing to suspend my credible disbelief about the outcome.

Once the delegates were selected, I was able to accept HRC would be the nominee. I still didn't like the process. The emails give me even more aggravation considering the lack of concern shown about the irregularities across the country.

We have a flawed system. How we fix it to be more democratic? I know DWS is not the only proponent of that system and I have not heard how it will be investigated so the underlying issues are resolved.

Feuding about who should have the 'right' opinion about what happened is not going to defeat Trump. If I was in the majority and didn't have real concerns about how Trump will treat all the categories I fall into, I could take the primary to the next level however I think the problematic democratic primary can't become the reason the general election goes wrong.
