1. We're all Democrats. Let the process continue to it's inevitable conclusion

Even though we do not know the outcome at this time.

I support Bernie. I like him a hell of a lot.

But I have nothing against Hillary.

If she emerges victorious, she will have my unflinching support.

he is where the Democrats should be today, when they are not. Which is why there should NO problem with him running as a Democrat right now. It's like he's always been how they claim to be, but haven't been. But he IS.

...witnessing is what happens when people who have sold themselves out realize they didn't have to...

Hillary took the easy way by selling out and these are the consequences she suffers... Rightfully so!

My hat is off to Bernie for living such a commendable life!

7. I don't care how many times he repeats himself

He's the only one talking about the massive redistribution of wealth for the last 40 plus years to the ruling class. He's the only one saying health care is a right. He's the only one saying a lot of things and I don't want him to stop saying them.

No we can't? Come out of the darkness and into the light.

Peace
