MoveOn's statement as of today 6/15/16

[azurnoir]

“MoveOn members congratulate Secretary Hillary Clinton on her glass-ceiling-shattering campaign and being the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States.

“MoveOn members thank and celebrate Senator Bernie Sanders for his inspiring, issue-driven campaign that’s elevated a powerful progressive agenda, electrified the country and brought millions of new voters into the political process. It’s clear that the vision and movement at the heart of Sanders political revolution are not only future of the Democratic Party, but the here and now.

“At the upcoming Democratic Convention, the Democratic Party needs to embrace a bold progressive platform that will, amongst other priorities, tackle economic inequality, pursue diplomacy over war, fight to get big money out of politics, confront climate change, confront sexism, structural racism and misogyny, and address the need for immigration reform.

“And the party needs to pass reforms to the nominating process to actively embrace millions of voters brought in by the Sanders campaign.

“The best way to defeat Donald Trump and those who support and enable his toxic and hateful campaign is for the Democratic party to welcome Bernie Sanders’ supporters and unite behind a bold progressive agenda for the future.

“We’re ready to defeat Donald Trump and those who support and enable his hateful and toxic agenda.”

1. So to be clear.

MoveOn is ready to focus on the GE.

Hillary, the nominee, is ready to focus on the GE.

The Democratic party is ready to focus on the GE.

Clinton supporters are ready to focus on the GE.

A good amount of Sanders supporters are ready to focus on the GE.

What's missing? I can't quite place it...

2. It's too early. Like waiting for Christmas, eh?

See you at the end of July.

3. Christmas came when Bernie was defeated.

5. " See you at the end of July."

Someone said something similar to me a few weeks back... "See you in California."

7. It's a mystery, isn't it?

4. Why all this obsession with the "platform"? It is just a feel good piece of paper that they

throw away and don't follow. Why put all your hopes in that? It means almost NOTHING.

9. Have you read the 1992 Democratic Party platform?

read and then think of how it actualized - Machiavelli would have wept

6. They're taking President Obama's lead in how to word congratulatory statements.

Someone REALLY ought to show that page to Bernie.
