Jul 2016

with Hillary now. Most of the Bernie or Busters are not Democrats and wouldn't have voted for Hillary no matter who she defeated. Sen. Sanders did a lot of good for the party in terms of moving it in a more progressive direction and hopefully some of the new voters he brought into the process will stick around.

And if you're concerned about division in the party, well, posts like yours certainly aren't any help...
