You Need To Stop [View all]

The infighting is going to tank this party and any chance the Democratic party has of growing its numbers in 2018 or winning the executive back in 2020. It is that plain and simple.

I was a Sanders supporter and, like 90% of Sanders supporters, not only did I vote for Clinton in the GE but I supported her. She won the primary and no one can say she didn't earn her place in the GE. Certainly, she has been the most demonized candidate in the history of politics and I, like many other Sanders supporters, would agree she has not been treated fairly.

The small percentage of Sanders supporters who did not vote for Hillary were never really Democrats anyway. They were people who were independents who believed in Sanders and were enticed away.

Rehashing the fact that < 10% of Sanders supporters voted for some other candidate isn't going to change where we are.

And turning Sanders into the enemy is certainly not going to help.

And turning on Sanders supporters is going to hurt worse than you think.

Please let go of this. We are where we are and it is what it is. We must fight the bigger fight and focus on the real issue.

I cannot believe we are still having these fights here.
