Awesome post by a Bernie supporter in GDP

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512150110

I wanted to post it here, because this is what I truly believe will be most Bernie supporter's reaction to the situation. Out in the real world, I mean. But here on DU, this person is in a minority, and it skews how we ALL feel - like we are a minority and the country is filled with people whose hearts are filled with hatred for Hillary. That skewed reality is FALSE, and this post is a good reminder of that.

This person may not love Hillary, but he can see what is right and is DOING what is right.

Maybe you want to show the post some love? Just my humble thought...

Happy to get some visibility to that post - hopefully it will inspire other Bernie supporters to take a clearer look at the situation!

It's been clear to me for a while that there are some very reasonable and rational Bernie supporters here...who are almost ALWAYS drowned out by the...less so. Those who will come around, will come around, and those who won't will be such a vanishingly small percentage as to be statistically insignificant.

Our job is to extend a hand to those who WILL come around. They are allies, they are on the same side that we are!

by his fanatical followers as were we HRC people.

They hardly dared post for fear of retribution.

DU has been held hostage to fringe zealotry for the last 10 months.

Finally, we can move on to the main event with some degree of comity and unity.
