6. It is my fervent hope

That this sinks in on both sides.

Bernie still has a very narrow path to the nomination, and I know plenty of people in California who are pretty unhappy that the Clinton camp thinks that they don't matter in the slightest moving forward.

By the same token, that path is -incredibly- narrow, and increasingly it looks like Hillary will be the nominee. But I'd love to see some "congrats on a good campaign, Bernie" or "look what you've accomplished in this primary" instead of smug self-satisfaction. Bernie supporters are already frustrated, and that's not helping build any bridges.

Can we meet somewhere in the middle, and boost liberal and progressive agendas together instead of both sides saying, "My liberalism is better/more pragmatic/more possible/purer than yours!"
