1) I've never said to be nice to people who are actually spewing venom at Hillary. My posts were focused towards those who were leaning voting for other parties because they felt the Dems had been heavy-handed on some things.

2) I don't want Hillary to be EXACTLY like Bernie. Or even that much like Bernie. What I am saying is that there were good things in the spirit of that campaign that should be included in this, and that it should be acknowledged that the Sanders campaign changed things in the party and strongly influenced in the platform...i.e., that we make sure that the younger people who worked in that campaign, especially, not be treated like failures and given the message that all they did was for naught.

Neither of those things would hurt this party. They would help it greatly.
