I'm so proud of my fellow Hillary supporters!

I love you all, keep doing what you're doing and keeping it classy. I wish that Bernie supporters could be as great as their candidate with that regard, but I guess thats not possible on DU for now.

We're one party, let's remember that while we're conversing with one another.

Case in point.

Note that this is a Bernie supporter attempting to perpetuate a divide because I said something polite about their candidate.

horrible to allow.
But I did just write a long post about why I want the most progressive candidate possible this year and support Sanders.
I've been waiting a long time for my Party to claim it's liberal roots again.

That said if she wins, I'll be in her corner in Nov.

Come Nov, should Sanders be the nominee I'd also support as well. My greatest concerns are the Supreme Court appointments and the down ballot Senate and House elections.

I'm so proud to be a progressive and everything that stands for, my great hope is that "progressives" get in the game in the mid terms come 2018. Because they sure did not show up in 2010, which is a complete shame. Nearly all of President Obama's legislative accomplishments came in the 08-10 cycle. That should have driven our base to the voting booths.

Along the way I hope my side controls their rhetoric.
Some of the PUMA talk I've heard is very disturbing.

I can see why there always seems to be a perception problem.
