5. In order for unity to happen...

people have to give up the notion that their ideas...their sides...are the only ones that matter.

I don't feel I'm opening any old wounds by saying this, because frankly, I think those wounds are never going to heal, but even now, nearly a month after the election, there are STILL people from both camps...Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton...who are blaming each other for the Trump win.

"Bernie could have won!" blah blah blah

"Hillary could have won if only the Bernie supporters hadn't acted like big babies by refusing to vote for her!" blah blah blah

Damn. How can Democrats win anything if there can't even be agreement on stopping the Republicans by giving up the damned ego trips?
