There are a lot of talented people on DU. Early on in the primary, it was clear that a variety of people supported different candidates. And as you point out, we almost all want the same things ..... and they are what the democratic party stands for, at its best.

As we have come down to two candidates, the fighting between the two groups of supporters has intensified, both on DU and in the larger world. It's time for grass roots groups to recognize the value of winning in November, in terms of promoting our party's values, and to be very clear on what losing would mean.

The ability to win in November will depend in large part on the ability to organize and coordinate those at the grass roots level -- the neighborhood leaders that the Alinsky movement represents.

Thank you for the work you do. Mighty glad to be on the same team!
