to likewise ignore Bernie and his supporters.
Stop the attacks and anger towards his very sincere supporters, who we will need in November to defeat the billionaires, Trump forces, and Russians.
Biden has won the primary. There is no reason to lash out at Bernie the way so many do here on DU.

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