The main thing that the Democrats need to begin to do right now is to push for party unity. If not

unity, then party determination. We a couple of ads reminding folks of what happened in 2000 when Nader ran third party. For those who may not be thrilled with Hillary as a candidate they need to understand that IF they are true Democrats, in November it becomes all about the Party. There cannot be any "protest" votes because that kind of divide can throw the electoral college and/or the election into Trumps hands. The hardcore Trump followers are going to vote for him come hell or high water and they are not going to divide their votes to vote libertarian and certainly not green. We need a slogan like "Never Divided!" or something along those lines. We have to struggle hard to keep the Obama coalition together.

Think of some slogans we need to put out there as soon as this shitty primary is over.

Never divided
Stick together
United we win
Party forward
Party Now
The Grass is not Greener
Put Our Country First-Stay the Course.

even if bernie remains in his rogue persona, less and less of his followers will see it in a good light....and never take what you see here in DU to actually represent whats out in america
