"I'm a Biden supporter, but I have a lot more in common with you and Senator Sanders than I do any Republican, especially Trump."

"Although I didn't support Senator Sanders int the nomination phase, I am glad he energized voters like you to join in the push against Trump."

"Participation in this process builds the party. And though much of this process is competition, a lot of it is cooperation, too. I like that!"

Mostly what my threads have been about is what not to say, however. I find there to be no fundamental use in calling out Senator Sanders or his supporters. They don't need nor deserve to be vilified. They don't need to be told they don't count. They don't need to be told to go away. They aren't your enemies.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
