40. Which is the big part of my support for his candidacy now.

I have no problem hearing my brain and my heart and reality all at the same time.

It will be crucial for ALL Dems on the 2016 ballot that we have the strongest ticket we have EVER put up - it is the only way we can even HOPE to counter the extremely rigged districts in purple states.

In my state, we need over 60% Dem voter turnout just to break even. In 2012 Dems had 52% of the votes, but, GOP ended up with 70% of the seats.

NOTHING will change if those of us on the left do not fully consider the entire ballot in every state.

I say this as someone who concentrates heavily on voter turnout in my purple state and is at the polls actively working for the entire Dem ballot from day one of early voting thru election day.

I think the majority of pro-Sanders posters here at DU do not want a weakened HRC candidacy - we want one that does what every general election presidential candidate does and adopts the strongest, most popular positions and wording of a popular challenger…..in this case, that would be the common sense rhetoric of Bernie Sanders.

I wish the best for ALL of us as Democrats with the strong moral base to do everything we can to stop the express train that is propelling the fascist agenda of the Republican Party.

Definitely do NOT let any of the bitterness that develops drive anyone away - those fueling the bitterness should be avoided or alerted, because this is DEMOCRATIC Underground.
