From the "small group"

I just want to emphasize that it appears condescending to be characterized as small while you refer to yourself as the big tent. There is an ongoing grieving process for the loss Bernie and his group endured. It's akin to the death of an ideal. You may see Hillary's path as an obvious choice. We have yet to fully adopt this alternative. Implied, or forced subservience does not ingratiate new recruits! Show me how I can feel good about it all, not why I should feel bad about where I was. Namaste

Maybe?

I am a Bernie fan. I was disappointed by his loss. That said, I think it's a mistake for Hillary supporters to dismiss progressives as anti democrats. We want what you want! It's hard to switch tracks and jump on an already moving train. Condescending and derisive responses will bring division, not unity! I joined this group because a friend posted that the vp choice had attended a black church for many years. This gives me hope of empathy and compassion to our fellow man. Be kind and patient. We will come if welcomed and loved! Namaste

About PaulHendra

I came to this group to hear positive, nonaggressive reasons to reconsider voting for HRC. I'm a Bernie supporter and I want to find friendly welcome acceptance of progressive thought....is this possible?!!! Namaste.
