Look, Bernie supporters and Hillary supporters, I realize that both of you think the other is the enemy. The Bernie supporters feel the Clintons have ignored them for years, and seem ready to do so again. The Clinton supporters feel that the Clintons saved the party from being swept over. Many here disagree on many ideas, from whether to support or abandon Israel, to the TPP.
The fact is, no matter what we feel about each other, we have to be able to unite in November. It is true, and ugly, but as much as the GOP sounds like they want to kill each other, they will, to use the words of Lucianne Goldberg, walk on broken glass to vote against the Democrats. They have churches and corrupt state and county governments to help them. Regardless of who gets the nod, we need to realize, if we do not win the general, which we will only do by unity, all the arguing will have been a waste of time.

They just didn't have a voice ... The Clinton's have been a useful bulwark against what would have been a disastrous couple of administrations ...
Nevertheless, it is recognized that we lost much in the process ....And frankly, we are tired of being left out in the cold ...
It isn't a matter of being ignored ... It's a matter if having a voice in the debate ....
And, frankly, that horse ran away from the barn months ago .... My ignore list is filled with insulting liars ...
Not sure if that can be patched up ....
