3. There is no "they"

Bernie’s folks are not a monolithic block. I know many fine folks that are backing Bernie.

Joe will bring the Democratic nomination home. I’ll agree that the fight isn’t over. But the fight is for voters, it is to broaden the base of support for Joe. Having Bernie’s supports join us is meaningful. Having them resent us is not helpful.

Grace and decency can be a rare commodity online. We could use a lot more of it. Grace and decency is something I very much like about Joe. Not only can we win, we can win while being decent, that is an exceptional thing.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
