11. I don't think it's heavy handed to point out that inaction is also a choice of action.

But I understand about the delicate feelings. Even in the face of booing over Elijah Cummings.

I would think that Bernie making the decision to support Hillary, and asking his supporters to do the same would have been more effective in getting people to think in terms of the election. Perhaps in three weeks, as you say. I'm certainly not pushing any of the Bernie supporters I know to 'suck it up.' I was enraged at Bush being handed the election in 2000, and my mother could not forgive Gore for conceding after the SCOTUS decision, because it was so disheartening to his supporters. I kept from rolling my eyes, and saying that a futile effort helps no one, and we need to freaking roll up our sleeves and get to work, and it took her a year, and I tolerated the "how can you just give up??" being shoved down my throat for that year.
