I feel like I'm losing my mind with still more Hillary vs. Bernie

70. The nazis have been here all along - they're not new

It is only recently that they've been emboldened to come out in public without masks, without hoods, without hiding, and spew their hateful rhetoric. They've been building up to this for years, and POC and Jewish people can let you know that yes, they've been around all along, we're only seeing them out right now.

That has everything to do with who is in charge and who is enabling them. Like John Oliver said about nazis really liking Trump: Nazis are like cats. If they like you, you're probably feeding them.

As for what happened, it's complicated. Lots of things happened. Left-wing politics are under fire from tons of sources, and both Bernie and Hillary got battered and beaten. They got beaten up in the press, they got beaten up by each others' spokespeople, they got beaten up by right-wing assholes trying to pose as democrats in the papers.

But we should not be looking back on that fight except to plan what's next. We can't dwell on it, and re-fight it, we have to move forward with it. I personally think that Bernie staying in the primary race was helpful because as soon as there was a set Democratic candidate, the media could stop focusing on the horse race and go back to "OMG! Look what Trump did now!!!" which is what they did. The longer there was attention on the left, the more it was possible to get policy positions out.

Neither Bernie nor Hillary were perfect candidates. Why? There's no such thing as a perfect candidate. And there are already a few holes being poked in Hillary's recounting of the story (I'll link a tweet below). So, let's put the tribalism aside, gather up all of our imperfect candidates and allies, and get better. Because as much as we've got some infighting as to who's better within the Democratic party right now, the other side is LITERAL NAZIS that we need to deal with.
