There Really Are Republicans for Bernie

3. I think this is significant, and needed.

The United States is afflicted with hyper-partisanship. Most Americans are politically driven by nothing more than hatred toward the Other Side, and give little thought to policy.

Many astute observers have noted the the real divide in America is not "Democrat" vs. "Republican," or even "Liberal" vs. "Conservative," but instead is "Have" vs. "Have Not." Those who have everything have done a masterful job of keeping us fighting against one another so that we don't notice what they're doing.

It's good for ordinary working Americans to see each other without the partisan lenses. There is plenty of time for us to argue over our differences, but if we want to get our democracy functioning again we'll need to work together. It looks like Bernie has appeal that cuts across partisan boundaries, which Clinton does not have.
