Calling all Bernie bots, bros, Hillbots, shills, $hillaries & corporate whores: Isn’t it time for the healing the begin?
We believe it is!
Fact is, Bernie Sanders will concede in the next month and endorse Hillary Clinton. The DNC Convention will NOT be contested. Obviously, many Sanders supporters will be distraught, dismayed and momentarily diminished, but haven’t these young renegades more than earned the right to their light? For the most part they’ve been beacons. Sure, some have shined nothing but the dank of darkness. We’ve glowed and glowered back some venom ourselves have we not?
I say let them “Bern” bright.
We are going to need as many of Sanders’ supporters as possible to defeat the Republicans this coming November. Bernie has built a network of angry progressives that we very well may be able to leverage. Lord knows a venting will be necessary. Imagine how we’d feel just watching from the sidelines on the losing side? We could not sit still for long. Our morality would forbid it.
You see?
This all could end up being a good thing. The truth is, we all know in our hearts we are on the same side.
It’s just been such a long, drawn-out primary season. While exhilarating — it has also been emotionally raw, it’s been exhausting, and it may have cut a deeper crevice than any of us intended. In the end, we will have Bernie and his beautiful bots and bros, Obama and his courageous coalition, Hillary’s hilarious hillbots and all of us, Clinton and Sanders supporters forming one huge alliance to defeat the insanity on the other side.
This is truly a war for the soul of America.
Yes, we all have a lot of hard work ahead.
(These polls from May 13th — looks awesome for Clinton, but let’s not forget our enemy)

So let’s dig in deeper, begin to heal the rift, and when the urge to lash out rears its ugly head, take a breath, and just remember what’s at stake.
Are you OK with denying your fellow Americans the right to choose what to do with her own body?
That’s exactly what will happen under Trump’s reign nationwide if we don’t join forces and stop the madness. For a quick reminder, look at what happened in Oklahoma this week. The Oklahoma Senate just passed a bill on Tuesday that would allow medical licenses being revoked for doctors who perform abortions.
OR
Are you more comfortable having your women friends, sisters, mothers and daughters being forced to have their rapists’ babies? Again, that’s exactly what will happen under a Trump Presidency. The choice is yours.
Eyes on the prize!
