(50,254 posts)There is some common ground between our party's current message and the Sanders message-I'm just saying it needs to go further, to blend the messages and to stop treating Sanders supporters, and supporters of ideas like those of Sanders, as though they are somehow the enemy.
And I wasn't throwing any shade on anybody. I started my thread title with the words "This was a big win".
I hope we have more gains and will be working with everyone else to achieve them. All I was saying is there's no reason to take last night, good as it was, as a sign that all problems are solved and that it's a unnecessary to be open to change and to welcoming new people.
We can't count on "Get Trump OUT!" as enough to boost turnout everywhere, and I don't know why people would still be touch and nervous about somewhat expanding what we're about.
What matters is bringing in everyone we can bring in and building up our vote everywhere as much as possible.
