(33,005 posts)When a lot of us HRC supporters were being silenced and assailed here, I was on your side. I am still. But our group does include the people mentioned. We try to seek out the union members, disaffected republicans, all types. Former Bernie supporters are included in that.
I stood up at a town hall and say that we had to be a big tent again. A Bernie supporter had spoken up first and tried to brag about all the work his group had done for their candidate. I told everyone we had to work together now, or trump would win.
After the meeting, he sought me out. He told me that he had voted for Hillary in the general. He had joined the local party, and was now a precinct committeeman. He was one of several people who came up to me.
That is what we need. We can be Indivisible, and work within the party structure.
You are right that the former Bernie supporters need to move on. But I am going to welcome them to work with us, as long as they understand that it IS time to look ahead.
And Bernie? STFU about Perez and Ellison. It looks to me like those two want to work together.
