Mar 2016

Bernie has done more for the progressive cause than anyone has in my lifetime. The electorate with whom his message has resonated, myself included, has already made its case with the Democratic party, and I, like you, expect that Hillary will carry the torch. She is far from perfect, but she has become a better candidate because of this campaign. Something odd happened: As this campaign has moved forward, I have grown more fond of *both* candidates.

So, I am disappointed. But I am also incredibly hopeful and optimistic. The Democratic party has become more progressive, and though it will be incremental, progress is progress.
