In reply to the discussion: To those who STILL support Sanders: as I have previously posted, I agree with much [View all]ms liberty
(10,010 posts)The primary is effectively over for all intents and purposes. Joe has won and since it's not Liz Warren (whom I voted for in our primary) I'm as cool with Joe as the nominee as I would be anyone else. He's likeable, experienced and professional. He's been on my short list in every primary he's run in, and I was really glad Obama chose him as his veep. I wish he'd run in 16.
What is more to the point for me is the ugliness being displayed by some here at DU. This obsession is really damaging and disturbing, and yes, it is an obsession when the people who are most virulent in their dislike are rarely or never seen in threads that don't involve Bernie. He's far more irrelevant than the attention he's given here. Ignoring Bernie (which is what I've been doing) and moving on ahead to the fight against Comrade Dumbass of Orange is what we need to be doing as Democrats, IMO. It would be healthier for all of us and less hurtful to our members and fellow Dems who still support him in some way - which btw I do, as a Senator. I believe his voice and views are a valuable addition to our political discourse and we are better when we have more views represented than less. Particularly when they caucus with US and not the GOP. I'd love to ask, can't we all just get along? But alas, it seems that no, we cannot.
I'd say let it go but the last time I said that (about something else, I don't even remember what), some four year old two aisles over in the grocery store started singing, lol!

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
