I've voted for Bernie for mayor, governor, and congressman before I moved to California. I also supported Clinton in the 2016 election. The differences between them are not commensurate with the rancor that has ensued. They both lost. We need to move on. The Party needs to evolve without finger-pointing. The next generation of Dem leaders need not seek an endorsement from either as long as they stand unapologetically for fair taxation, living wages, wage equality, access to health care, and acknowledgement/respect for all demographics. No one singularly owns these values. Adhering to them is what WILL actually make America great. Fighting over who supported it more in 2016 will guarantee GOP victory in 2018. Don't guarantee GOP victory in 2018!

And the sexism? Don't get me started.
