Democrats have nothing to gain be telling Bernie and his supporters to go to hell

229. I know. A close finish then. I accepted her as nominee and worked hard in the fall for her.

This thread isn't Sanders V. Clinton as people or candidates.

We need the supporters of candidates in this party, and anyone else who wants progressive change as well, and we need the best ideas of each of those campaigns in this party: We need the emphasis Clinton's campaign made on social justice(a set of issues the Sanders campaign was actually always in full agreement with the Clinton campaign on, but did a poor job of communicating) and the economic agenda and grassroots spirit of the Sanders campaign.

And there are no inherent conflicts between both.

If we do what some here want and are ONLY a party of Clinton supporters and 2016 Clinton ideas, that leaves us stuck at 49% forever.

I'm posting as a person who wants the party to recover.

I don't care who we nominate in 2020.

I just want us to run on a program of social AND economic justice, because that combined emphasis(along with a less militaristic foreign policy, because at this point we're pretty much out of situations where the use of force can solve anything)is probably the only way to win.

I wish Secretary Clinton well and hope that, if we win in 2020, whoever we elect will nominate her to the Supreme Court.
