Democratic Primaries

Democracy is messy. I agree with what I think that you are saying. We need a unified Democratic Party because beating Trump is now literally a matter of life and death. On that note, I am in total agreement. Two things we have to keep in mind. One is that the Russians are still deeply involved in our election process and our intelligence agencies have said that one way that they are doing that is by "supporting " Sanders. Two is that an overwhelming number of Sanders supporters are life long Democrats. Universal health care has been one issue that has really unified Sanders support. That one issue looks pretty important right about now. Most will vote blue no matter who. I would hope that bringing our party together will be viewed as a two way street. We have a candidate for practical purposes. Biden has made some smart moves like adopting Warren’s bankruptcy plans. That will bring us together. The people I know who support Sanders are informed and passionate. As our party starts to come together as Democrats we need to acknowledge that our tent welcomes a range of ideas. I think that FDR was a Democrat not a socialist. He would have raged about corporate Democrats. When we lost the last election by 75,000 votes in just the wrong places, it scares me to here people tell registered a Democrat to just go away. In coming together we must respect our disagreements and amplify each other’s passion. I agree with you that it is frustrating as hell to listen to people who will never be satisfied, but more so than any time in my life, every vote counts. Make sure we don’t become as close minded and short sighted as they are. Keep up the faith. Wash you hands and beat Trump.
