What happens after the primary?
Yes, I know the general election...

But what I am wondering is after the primaries are over... Are we all united to stand behind the nominee? Even if we don't like them?

I recently said I couldn't vote for clinton if she won, but that I wouldn't vote for a repug either. I am willing to admit was just a bit pissed off and perhaps disenfranchised... I will undoubtedly would vote for whoever our candidate is... but...

Are we at least all united on that?

2. I expect us all to unite around the chosen candidate
There will be exceptions, though... let's hope they don't flock over to Nader or Bloomberg...

5. Well let me say it again... for those who keep calling me a troll
If HillDog is our candidate... I will support her just as if it was Obama/Edwards& start making Repug slamming videos again.

3. I think we'll all be together.
Those of us from the progressive wing have tended to be the most loyal, even when the party disregarded us.

We need to work hard and remind the Beltway that they'll owe victory to US, not the big donors.

And if progressives DO elect the next president, we'll have to work even harder AFTER the election to open up the space a Dem victory will create.
