12. Just stop.

He was not my primary choice, but Bernie Bashing is not gonna be helpful. The *vast* majority of Bernie supporters will vote for the Dem nominee. Don’t make that harder for them. You expect them to suck it up and do the right thing? Show them you doing it yourself.

16. I've been on that train for a long time

This has never been an issues campaign for me, it’s been a “the only thing that matters is beating trump” campaign.

M4A, and other purity issues have been a total non factor in my own personal calculus.

So, Your reminder might be of better use with a slightly different crowd.

will become an important part of the platform.

Now, the republican Fifth Columnists can slither back to the ooze from whence they came.

11. While there is much debate here on DU about how graceful he was or was not...

The one thing not in debate is how GRATEFUL we are that he did. Thank you Bernie. And I say that sincerely.

14. Graceful Acceptance, Sir, Does Not Seem To Be In The Man

It is a shame, but that is how it is.

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
