"I’m ready for the comments that bash Hillary. Bring it. I’ve already made up my mind and I’m already working for Bernie. But I have no interest — none — in a taking personal afront at a political campaign that represents the first time in more then a decade I’ve seen a national Democratic effort work to rebuild with real resources and outreach statehouse and local races that desperately needed someone to care. Because for all of Bernie’s talk of a revolution, the only campaign who will open their phone lines, offer support, and provide connections so far has not been the Sander’s campaign.. it’s been the Clinton people, who have not once, not in this entire election, turned down a chance to help a local candidate. Not once, at least not for me.

And sorry, that’s a progressive value I will not shy away from praising; because that work — changing our states, and the lives of people who live there — she deserves all the praise she can get for that effort.

I look forward to Bernie in the general, but all progressives should be happy that the Clinton campaign didn’t just horde their resources, they worked in every way they could to help all democrats — and they didn’t do it for praise or PR (I’m not being paid a dime by Hillary, I can tell you that), they just did it because it was the right thing to do."
