2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Only 10 days until Democratic Presumptive Nominee Day ... [View all]RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)11. Our (ahem) friends need our Love
Their Heroine is about to bow out of the race and it will be a crushing blow to their sensibilities as the man left standing will be the one they have been smearing all this time.
We should stand ready to forgive them for they knew not what they were doing.
Of course they shall repent and become Berned or they may never show their monikers on DU again. When they do repent and asked to be forgiven, we Berners shall exude the greatest Love we can muster and allow them some space.
But the days ahead will be hard for them from the top down for their dream is crushed and put off until someone like Warren is able to take up their banner 4 or 8 years from now.
