My pitch for party unity.

At this point, it is very unlikely that Bernie is going to win the Democratic Party nomination for president. When all this is said and done, we are going to have to unite to defeat Donald Trump. I ask Biden supporters to consider this in your support for him. Instead of criticizing Bernie or is supporters with the latest meme or anything else you can think of, it might be a better idea to look for other ways you can help Joe, such as just defending him against the criticisms that are made against him. It's very easy to log into his website and make phone calls into the primary states.

I am so tired of him smearing the Democratic Party and the system is rigged against him mentality. It’s like a replay of 2016. This sort of victim mentality reminds me of someone else. You are either for him or you are involved in some sort of conspiracy.

If you find yourself spending more time attacking Bernie than Trump you might reconsider your tactics.

Second.. I can and will critique a candidate seeking the Democratic Nomination. They are interviewing for a job. I want the best to go up against that buffoon in the Whitehouse. I just don’t think the Best is Bernie. Should he win the nomination, I will support him against Trump, absolutely.

Make sure to reach out to all those you know and LISTEN with understanding. Don't waste your time trying to change minds here though.

I do critique and analyze Bernie but I try to not make it personal about him or the majority of his supporters. I will call out toxic supporters, however.

Even most of poor Sanders' supporters are good Democrats who currently ignore his badmouthing Democrats, his strange anti-Democratic Party bedfellows, and his attempted Democratic election subversion because of something they like about him -- and will then vote Democratic in the GE.

It's actually funny when you realize most followers of a lifelong insurgent don't take "that" part seriously. Poor guy.
