As a Hillary supporter, and for the record

We have PLENTY of enemies in common. Why are we attacking each other?

I just wish I saw an equal amount of cooperation and conciliatory language coming back from the Bernie camp to us in the Hillary camp as I see from the Hillary camp toward the folks in the Bernie camp. It's quite lopsided at the moment. One side appears far more gracious, amicable, obliging, and accommodating than the other.

And I'm old, too. I'm old enough to remember 1968, when the rabid supporters of Gene McCarthy turned their backs en masse and stayed home and pouted on Election Day - and our only realistic chance to keep the White House in Democratic hands, our nominee being the VERY imperfect Hubert Humphrey, went down in flames. They thought Humphrey was just the worst, and we wound up getting fucking NIXON. Who was so much worse than Humphrey on ANY metric you'd care to use. And I kept thinking about those rigid and uncompromising Perfection-Or-Bust McCarthy supporters and wanting to ask them - "Well, how'd that Election Day pout-fest work out for ya? It got us a fucking republi-CON in the White House. Was it worth it??? You happy NOW????"

When the quest is for Perfection-Or-Bust, we often get stuck with "Bust".
