They think politics is like the Real Housewives, or something.

We can't push them away out of anger based on what a few individuals may say during the convention.

I'll admit that I am human and have let my passions get the best of me during the primaries but a few angry people on in the democratic party shouldn't tear the rest of us apart. I think people that are on the winning side should be more gracious than those that didn't win. I have seen plenty of Hillary backers be polite and welcoming but a few essentially say "fuck off, we don't want you", even today. Negativity is never helpful. Respect and communication above all else.

I have felt the 'fuck off, we don't want you' from others. Let people go through the process of grieving a loss before moving on.
I appreciated your thoughtful reply.

And in the end, the best, no the ONLY way to accomplish our goals is by working with and supporting the democratic party![/font]
