796. To a large extent you absolutely right. However, as you know, this was not a very pleasant primary,

Sat Jul 9, 2016, 06:06 PM

Jul 2016

and a lot of ugliness was exchanged here.

During the primaries there was no question that the number of Bernie supporters on DU exceeded the number of Hillary supporters, and that is fine, we had two progressive candidates.

I believe the majority of Bernie supporters on DU support the presumptive nominee, Hillary.

However, there were some who helped foster a very unhealthy environment here, and a lot of Hillary supporters were made to feel very bad.

While there is no doubt this thread does not provide the unity that is needed among Democrats, I think it provides a cathartic outlet for some who were treated badly.

There will be much more important issues to pursue in the weeks ahead. This thread is an opportunity to blow of steam after a very trying primary.
