Bernie Sanders' Former Staffer: "No One Stole the Election From Us"

In a heated tweetstorm, Symone D. Sanders rejected the notion that Sanders was cheated.

But after Sanders' attempt to rally support for Clinton this morning led to boos and protests, Sanders' former national press secretary, Symone D.

Now the contents of the leaked emails show individuals were definitely biased, but 7 folks on an email didn't "steal" the election.

There are other qualms. Other valid arguments, but a stolen election is not one. I worked there. No one stole the election from us.

... or the holdouts who refuse to listen.

I like what Skinner wrote yesterday (the other day? I forget) where he noted that there are no longer "Hillary Supporters" and "Bernie Supporters" while explaining the differences and the importance in foregoing those old labels.

I'll be doing my best to check my old habits of making broad generalizations.

My recollection of Skinner's phrasing probably wasn't correct and as I re-tell it, it's likely to cause confusion ... but his point was well-made. I just hope that ... well, I just hope, and we'll leave it at that.

And I'm still so happy I want to
