Glad you're here! I'm with you. If Hillary is our nominee, we all need to get behind her. Because the alternative is more scalias and more altos and more clarence thomases in the Supreme Court. It all comes down to that, I'm afraid. If you stay home on Election Day (because you didn't get YOUR preferred candidate as Democratic nominee), then YOU will have brought that down on the rest of us.

I understand the Warren wing. I feel like I'm in it. But she says she isn't running, and she may well be better-positioned to get a few things done where she is. And she could always change her mind later. Even Bernie Sanders says he won't be a spoiler, so he gets it, too. The White House HAS TO STAY BLUE. Beyond ANY doubt!
