1. It was the best thing he can do

I realize that there are many Bob's out there that will not heed his call which makes me wonder, would they have even voted for Bernie in the fall?

For them to commit political suicide by their actions, one has to wonder is their claim to cause reality? (I am speaking of those who are throwing the temper tantrum at the convention and giving interviews saying they could never vote for "crooked" Hillary).

2. Let's stay positive

What's the point of amplifying the complaints of a small minority of people?
Now is the time to put past bitterness behind and realize that we must all support the Clinton-Kaine ticket.
Recriminations that might be interpreted as being too broad serve only to divide the Democratic Party.

Stronger Together, let's all move forward -- longtime Hillary backers are under an obligation to reach out to Sanders' supporters at this time. The vast majority, the OVERWHELMING majority of us are with the ticket now.

3. I only question the motives of the hold-outs/walk-outs

It is really only hurting the cause they say they were part of. Which a very large of that cause made it to the platform.

4. It is an important story, but it is also a duplicate thread

Thread last night on it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141532204 "Sanders Moves to Suspend Rules, Nominates Hillary Clinton"

5. Ah, sorry

What's appropriate? A self-deletion? No problem.

Let me just requite my OP and comment here so people can see what was self-deleted.

Thank you.

His motion at the Democratic National Convention came after the roll call of states and was greeted with chants of "Bernie! Bernie!"

I realize articles about a little story like NOMINATING THE FIRST WOMAN EVER as the presidential candidate of a major party are NOT as important as, say, a story from 2015 about a "Russian Troll army", but hey that's LBN these days.

Can't we focus for ONE DAY on the positive news in the Democratic Party?
