We need ALL of us...we need the voters who backed BOTH primary candidates.

[Ken Burch]

41. She's not a victim, for Goddess' sake.

What is the point of her saying this? What is the point of her writing something that clearly seems to say "I won't LET the war between my supporters and Bernie's supporters end"?

What lesson is there to be learned from this?

I can give you a cite for why Bernie's candidacy didn't harm Hillary. Before he entered the race, the last poll taken showed her with a three point lead over any Republican. She ended up with a three point lead in the popular vote. There were no votes above that three point lead she'd have won in the fall if only Bernie hadn't run.

We HAD to have a candidate in the primaries who shared the values of Occupy, of the anti-globalization(in the progressive sense, not the bogus Trump sense)movement. We had to have something that, after decades in which the party insiders controlled everything and there was no real debate, let open discussion and the voices from below back in.

It should have been Elizabeth Warren. But once she stayed out, it had to be SOMEBODY. We don't win when our nominee is established months before the convention, when there's no real debate.
