This is politics in America, passionate, hard, sometimes dirty, but always passionate, if you don't have intensity of feeling about your candidate, then working for them for free, phone banking, door knocking, working events and speaking up about that candidate will not be able to be maintained... If you think HRC is great and the candidate you wish to support, do it! But don't try to stop those who don't think she merits their support from supporting their candidate in the middle of a race, to whatever level of emotional intensity they exhibit, because politics should be driven by intense commitment or it's simply a cynical game... I care greatly that Bernie Sanders becomes the next President of the United States, and until he is mathematically eliminated in the pledged delegate count, I will not stop advocating and working hard for him.
