Bernie--It's Time

I got another fundraising email from Bernie’s campaign yesterday after the Kentucky and Oregon primaries….below is my response.

Dear Bernie

After giving hundreds of dollars I am stopping my contributions. I believe passionately in your agenda and a call for a political revolution. But you have lost the vote fair and square. Hillary has won more delegates, and will beat you to the finish line, without regard to super delegates.

It is time to unite the Democratic Party. I want a party that tackles climate change, provides Medicare for all, reforms criminal justice, supports Black Lives Matter, ends corruption and influence of wall st, provides a $15 minimum wage, and together we have moved solidly in this direction.

But Clinton has more delegates. And I want to beat Trump and to win the House and Senate. If you keep calling the democrats corrupt you risk a Ralph Nader like disaster, and I want no part of it.

I have stopped my automatic contributions, and want to focus on the platform and winning the general election...You can be a leader in that fight once you acknowledge that role.

I want to win a massive victory in Nov. And I want you to help the democrats do that.

Sincerely

Toby S.

PS I have taken down the yard sign I was planning to leave up until the California primary. [con't at link]

He would have quit already, but sees that they're still worked up into a lather.
