... poisoned the well when they started throwing long-revered Democrats under the bus for endorsing Hillary instead of Bernie.

They poisoned the well every time they declared an HRC supporter/endorser a warmonger, a bought-and-paid-for shill, or a water carrier for the 1%.

They poisoned the well every time they called someone like John Lewis a weak-minded sell-out.

They poisoned the well every time they swarmed the FaceBook pages or websites of people like Gabby Giffords or Sybrina Fulton and left unspeakably vile comments because they'd had the audacity to announce their support for HRC.

"We will all have to learn to play well together"?

Well, guess what? Democrats invariably learn to play well together - as has been proven in the aftermath of every Democratic primary since the process began.

The only people who don't "play well together" with Democrats after the nominee is determined are those people who probably weren't Democrats to begin with.
