Just support Bernie no matter what happens.
One thing that always happens on the left is that we get angry. When we do that, our emotional energy is spent on the anger and we feel once the anger has gone, that we are helpless.
Bernie has not fallen into that cycle in his own life. He stays positive and out of that positive energy builds what is possible and good for our society.
That is what we must do.
There is no guarantee that Hillary will get the Democratic nomination even if she has the majority of the delegates. And since she does not have enough delegates to meet the required threshold by the first vote at the Convention, we can continue to back Bernie until and for those of us who wish to even after the nomination.
There is still a chance that Bernie will be the nominee. Most Hillary supporters will vote for Bernie if he is the nominee. Many, many Bernie supporters will not vote for Hillary should she be the nominee.
It's in the interest of the Democratic Party to nominate Bernie, not Hillary.
Anything can still happen.
And besides, we are building a movement, not just aiming to win an election.
Do not give way to feelings of depression or anger. They are self-defeating.
I have had a marvelous life. Stay positive. From personal and political disasters and difficulties we learn strength and how to organize ourselves more effectively.
DU is just one website in a world of real and potential websites.
Keep the faith.
Bernie is the best candidate. We all know that. Many Hillary supporters also know that. Hillary has just been hyped as the inevitable candidate.
Don't worry about it.
Keep working for Bernie and the things you believe in like compassion, love, sharing (just enough not too much), being yourself, helping others, the environment, the joy of education, and all the other good things you believe in.
Focus on the good, not on the bad.
Feel the Bern!
