How you get to reshape the Democratic Party? You win the nomination! [View all]

What is more important?

To re-frame the party platform (which no one will care about one week after the convention.)

OR

To ensure that there is still a Democrat in the White House after President Obama moves out
And to ensure that the Supreme Court is run by liberal justices for the next 20 years
And to ensure that Obama care isn't repealed
and to ensure that women have dominion over their own bodies
And to ensure that Wall Street isn't given permission to ruin the economy again.
And to ensure that a thin skinned, narcissistic demagogue isn't making war/peace and economic decisions and doesn't have his finger on the nuclear button.
And etc.
Etc.

Endorse or don't endorse, I don't care - but get your priorities straight and don't cause a useless floor fight at the convention. Don't make it more difficult for your remaining supporter to support the nominee. Don't tear the party apart while trying to reshape it.
