23. If anyone is Bernie or bust after the last few nights, they need to be kicked out of DU, kicked out

of the convention if they are there and generally treated like the fools they are.

I was Bernie from the start. I have a history of being for the most progressive candidate in the primary. I also am very much on record about opposing nepotism in politics. I made a documentary film that was distributed nationally on that very issue. I am adamantly anti-war. I have plenty of reasons that Hillary is not the best candidate for me.

None of that matters when the choice we have is Trump versus Hillary. The decision is not even close. If the Bernie or bust folks cannot see this, I want nothing to do with them. Please go away and don't come back until you are ready to support our party. We vote for Democrats here.
