2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Supporters - Please read my post [View all]that Sanders says that we can all do a better job with; it's obvious, yet we still don't always get it:
"If we stand together, we will win."
"We" need to expand the framework of "we."
You are so correct about feelings. They trump logic every time. They do that for all of us. It helps, at least, it helps me, to hear you talk about that. It's so easy to forget that MY feelings aren't the center of the universe, even when I know better, because, well, because they are what I feel.
I also have to admit that you are more forgiving than I. This is something that I've struggled with all of my life. I can "forgive" on the surface, but I never forget, and that surface forgiveness is really just a band-aid over scars that don't go away. Forgiveness and trust...my two biggest issues in life.
Let's keep the conversation going. It can't help but be a healthy thing, regardless of political outcomes.
