Huffington Post: Bernie Sanders Should Not be Allowed to Hold the Democratic Party Hostage

300. I guess it doesn't cost the party anything

if you are willing to write off the most reliable members of the party base. Or have you forgotten that Bernie was clobbered among Black voters? Are we going to keep all of what the losing candidate stood for and let someone (who???) pick and choose what is "best" from the winner? Which Sanders people are we to work with...the ones who called Hillary a "c***", the ones who decided the south (the largest region of the country and home to more than half of the Black population) should not have their votes counted, the ones who proudly and loudly voted for trump?

We have a big tent and I am certainly willing to work with those who are actually in the tent. But before you decide to walk over our backs to take over the podium, you might give some consideration to what the majority of the party members want in our leaders. There are several outstanding candidates for DNC chair, but it appears that the Bernie supporters are demanding that we select their choice or else we will lose them forever and forever. imo, that is not a winning strategy.
