OK: I found a way towards unity for all of us!
2016 has been bitter and nasty. I admit that I am guilty of this myself with some, not all, of my posts.
I want everyone to go on a rightwing site and start reading their posts. Did you know:
A. Hillary will take away your guns? I did not know the president had the sole power to repeal amendments?
B. We need more tax cuts for the Job creators.
C. Only minorities get welfare?
D. All Muslims are loyal to Isis?
To my Sanders supporters I say, we just can't risk President Trump and to Hillary supporters, let's please starting having positive dilogues

I mean that, I really do! I don't think some people are ready to stop arguing quite yet.
Maybe try a repost on June 16th, or so? Right now wars are still being waged against the perceived opposition, and there are still spleens to be vented, and salt to be rubbed into fresh wounds.
My choice vs yours. Be damned the collateral damage, it's war, etc.
Thanks for trying, though. 
That explains that then.
Well, then the 15th. I got my days off there. I thought the DC primary was the 15th, not the 14th. 
my point was only that Bernie will have made steps by then to work with Hillary, and people will be healing some.
Hopefully the salt to wound ration will be greatly reduced by then, too.
My personal favorite (this happened last night) are the Hillary people- note there are jackholes on both sides, no question- who, after clearly and badly losing an argument on simple logical or factual grounds, try some shit like "I know losing hurts, but it'll be okay".
Not, like, in the genuinely sympathetic tone of your post, but in this sort of lame, emotional 12 year old, "on some level I realize you just cleaned my clock in this debate, so I'm just gonna try to neener you to get a reaction hurrr".
Yeah... okay, pal.
I may not be the typical Sanders supporter, but I figured from the get-go that HRC would likely be the nominee. So now she is, and great, and I believe (as Obama apparently said in an interview to be released this week) that Sanders made Hillary a better candidate. I think he did, and his campaign was a net positive for all of us.
And now, or once the voting is over- as you say, by the 21st- he should graciously concede and enthusiastically endorse. That is the best ending.
Like I did in 2008. 
So maybe I am not the typical Hillary supporter either.
But I said from the beginning that the primaries are vital for determining the direction our Party takes for the future. That requires vigorous debate, and we certainly had that this time (to put it mildly). Hillary, too, said she thought the primary debates on issues (not just televised ones, but the discussion throughout the entire primary) was good for the Party overall.
At the same time... once the primary is over, that's when we have to accept the nominee our process gave us, work to create the best platform to base the Party's next four years of effort achieving, and then defeat the GOP nominee.
I actually agree with something else Hillary said, too, even if saying this might not make me some friends -- this isn't the standard GE, given who actually won on the Republican side. While I worked my heart out for Obama, and if we lost I was going to be doing a lot of prayers for McCain to live the entire term to avoid Palin becoming President, I wasn't nearly as afraid of a McCain presidency as I am of a Trump presidency. McCain was far more qualified and far more sane.
So I am actually glad she's apparently reaching out towards Republicans, even if it seems like further pivot to center. One of my dearest Conservative friends, who is evangelical and everything, said when he cast his primary vote for Cruz that he'd vote for Clinton over Trump. Shocked me, but he's not the only one.
based on past actions and her openly-stated beliefs...I'm pretty sure Hillary believes (B.) (and worse along the same lines as (B.)) herself and that's the biggest issue to me. It's a deal-breaker for my support. Hillary will never have it...I already have a countdown clock until Nov. 10 set when I can start The Campaign to primary Hillary Clinton in 2020.; that is literally the day that effort begins--before she ever takes office, following a single day for reprieve and rest, the first day that effort can start in earnest.
My interests and intentions lie with a Sanders write-in because if there are a few million (or 10M) of those nationally, it will send a powerful message that is impossible to ignore about the direction of this nation. Let's be clear, Sanders supporters are free-agents, the party has forsaken us in-full by nominating Hillary. We're not getting what we want this election-cycle but we can still stand up to be counted and make it clear that there are legion of us up-for-grabs to anybody willing to govern by our principles and not those of Wall St., the establishment of the one party masquerading as two, and Clintonite fake Democrats. (This being, I feel, the last time I need to say "fake Democrats"...whenever I say Clintonites, it can be interpreted as "People that are not really Democrats."
Then it's perfectly acceptable to bash constructively-criticize Clinton as we call for a 2020 primary opponent. 
I expect by 2018 even you will regret your support of that Wall St. vampire, Clintonite.
"We know it's terrible that President Clinton had to compromise away a woman's right to bodily autonomy and freedom of choice by allowing the GOP to ban abortion...but that compromise allowed us to keep unfettered access to birth control."
Less than no use for quislings and apologists for capitulation.
