(50,254 posts)In each of those cases the Dem candidate failed to win in races were it was always going to be difficult to win.
The progressive candidates gained as much ground as the centrists.
As to Omaha, to my knowledge Heath Mello was the only Dem who even filed in that race, btw, so it's not as though there was a MORE pro-choice candidate that Bernie somehow stabbed in the back there.
It's time to admit the Sanders/Clinton rivalry is over, La Lioness.
It's time to end this pointless internal war.
We need to go forward in a coalition of equal partners and in cooperation on an agenda of social AND economic justice, with no one left out in the cold.
It's not about it being Bernie's party OR HRC's party...it's about being the party of the people-the party of those oppressed by hate AND those oppressed by greed, many of whom are the SAME people.
We can't win if we put Sanders people in the back of the bus...we can't win if we put Clinton people in the back of the bus. We need to share the back AND the front of the bus.
