6. In fact, the AP should have underlined that he was talking about democracy...

... and as an aside when the question was posed ABOUT the convention with, "Do you think IT can be that way?", he said about what the founders of the country would agree - "So what?" because that is what it IS at times, and Thomas Jefferson reinforced with what it might take to keep it that way.

Nothing short of what we should count on when we KNOW we have problems with which to contend, right?

7. There he is with the imaginary doors again

Was there a ban on young and working class people being able to register as Democrats and get involved? Nothing like being dictated to by someone who never actually joined the party himself.

10. I love you, Bernie, but you lost. Please don't leave us with a President Trump.

The Democrats, the only viable political party that leans liberal, have a golden opportunity this year to take not only the White House, but probably the Senate and maybe even the House, not to mention the future Supreme Court that will be affecting us all for generations to come.

Yes, the odds were against you and the DNC is obviously "in the bag" for Clinton. And yes, Clinton is the least of two evils.

But please get over your outrage and do what is best for our country.

This is not the time for a "purity test" to prove who is most liberal. It is the time for us to all come together as a power and keep and expand on what we have.

I would rather have a piece of the liberal pie than a lifetime of conservative shit sandwiches.

And it is up to you, Bernie. You and your supporters.

11. Fuck YES.

Democracy is messy.

He looks tired. I hope he has a chance to relax now and then. He's been working so damned hard for us.
