Democratic Primaries

He is maintaining a campaign in all but name, and has indicated quite clearly he intends to make trouble at the convention.

He continues to allow persons employed by his campaign to make scurrilous charges against Mr. Biden, in many cases echoing attacks which are made by Republican operatives.

Attacks will cease when he makes this half-hearted mess of a 'concession' into a whole-hearted expression of support for Mr. Biden, and a full-throated denunciation of those among his followers who wish to damage the prospects of the Democratic Party's nominee for President.

It would be helpful for well-meaning supporters of Sen. Sanders to make clear that the partisans of that faction of 'Bernie' adherents which seems unwilling to support the Democratic nominee are flat wrong, and to seek by their own actions to demonstrate how wrong they are. Rather than to claim that when this faction of 'Bernie' devotees are attacked for what they are, nihilist wreckers whose actions assist the cheap thug Trump, it is they themselves who are being attacked. It is rather like a main-line Protestant minister complaining that when the likes of Falwell Jr. or Rick Wiles is attacked for their pernicious statements and actions, it is Christianity, and all Christians, who are being attacked. If you are not claiming Mr. Biden is a senile racist rapist who killed millions in Iraq, whom you could under no circumstances vote for, no one is attacking you. I certainly am not, and would not. You would probably find I agreed with you on many points of policy, and certainly on most goals to be sought.





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
