I admit it ... I'm a softie ... There is ONE Bernie supporter here that I admire and respect.

I'm sure there may be more on this site that I haven't noticed, but this ONE person is never insulting or smearing. They're hopeful and idealistic (and I mean that in a nice way) and he (or she) has even said that defeating Trump is more important than the "Bernie-or-bust" and "Bern-it-down" philosophies.

I'm not going to name this person, but he/she is out there... and I tip my hat to them. I know how disappointing it can be when one's favorite candidate doesn't win, and I'm sympathetic to the disappointment. But I admire that he/she hasn't become consumed with the free-for-all contempt and treats other online people the same way you'd treat someone in person.

There are more than a few who are truly a pleasure to share a forum with and for that I give them credit and gratitude. I admire them because they are handling themselves with integrity and showing that they are made of very good stuff indeed, even in the face of defeat.

Hats off to them for their grace under fire.
