In reply to the discussion: I'm scared [View all]redstatebluegirl
(12,827 posts)I am more afraid of the Bernie supporters making a scene, or Bernie himself doing something like what Cruz did, even though he came out in favor of Secretary Clinton a week or so ago. I know some Bernie people who are so angry they are talking about driving to Cleveland to "protest the unethical process" in any way necessary (including that "fart a thon" or whatever it is they call it). Don't dismiss these supporters, they are rabid in ways that frighten me. The corporate media will have a field day if this happens.
This party needs to look totally professional and together next week, a party worthy of leading the country.
We need to "keep our eyes on the prize", we have to show up, get our friends to show up, and never let down until the day after the election. We have to work for down ballot candidates, including the young Bernie supporters who are running down ticket.
Bernie got much of what he wanted with the platform, more than I ever thought he would. Now, lets get busy and elect a bunch of Democrats to straighten out this mess and bring some sanity back to the country after this awful election cycle from hell.
