Whoever gets the nomination has the responsibility to unite the party and motivate the base

[Yavin4]

as well as motivate the non-voters. That's the deal. No blaming anyone or anything else. Accept the nomination. Accept the responsibility. Leadership in a nutshell.

If any candidate feels that they cannot do it, then they should drop out now.

1. Yes. Especially the "no blaming" part.

No blaming the DNC or the insufficiently ideologically pure or "the establishment" or the other candidates. No whining. Just do it.

6. +1

2. No Blaming the voters. We run a candidate and if that person loses it's on us.

[FBaggins]

3. True enough... but only half of the story

The base also has a responsibility to unite behind the party’s candidate.

[MineralMan]

4. I'll be happy to help!

5. I frankly think we have infantalised voters for too long

No one, unless they are the nominee themselves, is going to agree with our nominee on every issue. Frankly, I have never agreed with our nominee on every issue of the day. It is far past time for people to get the following message. Adults vote, they vote for imperfect candidates, they vote for candidates who may or may not be inspirational speakers. You know what inspires me in this election. Judges who don't hate blacks, women, latinix and LGBTQ. You know what else inspires me this election. Not having kids in cages. You know what else inspires me this election. Not having a candidate who makes fun of disabled people. You know what else inspires me. A President who isn't hated abroad. I could go on, and on, and on. My message to voters, grow the bleep up.

7. exactly , i feel like some people look to politics for entertainment

they feel like every moment needs to be something exciting .

it's like the issues don't even matter to them. all the democrats are pretty much the same on most of the issues.

i want someone who we can trust and do all the things you mention so i can focus on other things to keep me entertained and happy .

8. those who don't win the nomination should also do as Hillary Clinton did in 2008

if Hickenlooper wins the nomination i expect all other democrats to do all they can to help him win the election.

the same goes for whoever ends up the democratic nominee.
