We need party unity

Bernie urged us to support Hillary following the primaries. Keith has been named deputy chairman of the DNC and has called for unity.
This isn't last year's DNC by any stretch of the imagination. Good riddance Debbie and Donna!

The Democratic Party is definitely now trending Progressive.

Why are we still litigating last year's primaries?
What am I missing here?

So I welcome any voter who shares basic Democratic values, no matter what initial is after his/her name.

I've mentioned this before, but....over 15,000 people (nearly twice the city' s population) turned out in Montpelier, Vermont on the day of the Women's March. There were Democrats, Independents, Progressives, Libertarians. I even met a few Republicans. The crowd, bound by the same basic issues, was unified and determined to work together for change. We were Americans and party affiliation didn't matter. What mattered was our common cause.
