Conventions are about UNITY, not "Dissent."

The convention is there to officially nominate the PARTY nominee. Yes, it's fine for more than one person to be put in nomination and speakers who supported the losing candidate can and should have the right to tout what that candidate stands for. But those who supported the candidate that did not win the nomination must also be respectful to the nominee and her supporters, accept the outcome, and UNITE behind the winning candidate.

The Bernie folks have had TONS of inclusion and TONS of impact on the platform. Their voice has been HEARD.

They need to understand how the process works and understand that it is ALL about UNITING and BEATING the unique and dangerous threat that is Trump.
