Hillary AND Bernie are last year's news. Can you folks leave it there and focus on the Future? [View all]

This Daily KOS article should stir up some discussion.
------------------------------------------------------------

Neither Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders is the President of the United States, are they, so what’s your point?

We all lost to the lying POS who parks his disgusting ass on the chair beneath the Resolute Desk most weekdays.

So every story written which climbs the REC LIST, filled with the strident comments of the still angry supporters of our two losing candidates in the presidential race of 2016, is a story which accomplishes nothing except to keep the divisiveness of that election cycle alive and well.

At some point, all of you angry people need to see that the ONLY WINNERS in this continual effort to re-fight the last election are the Republicans.

Is that what you want? To help the Republicans?

It’s 2017, and while we lost the White House to the Liars and Manipulators there was a silver lining — that loss created The Resistance.

Which lead directly to our first big win of 2017 — and it wasn’t for a single candidate, but for all of us.

Democrats, progressives, liberals and Independents looked around after the stunning results of November 8th, 2016 and after grieving though the holidays they found something interesting. A little group of former congressional staffers put out a Guidebook for how to not just protest, but to do so in a manner designed to be successful.

The Indivisible Guide for how to resist the Trump Agenda.

Overnight, Indivisible groups popped up all over America. People in counties everywhere connected on Facebook and created local groups — and by the end of January there were over 7,000 of them.
