What's this about? I got blocked. Said it should go in "Primaries"
Isn't Hillary our nominee for the GE???? Nothing here about Sanders.

I'm a Senator Sanders supporter, but it's time for unity (for the record, I agree with Senator Sanders' decision to continue on to the convention - it keeps the debate alive and makes Secretary Clinton a stronger candidate overall).
All of this makes me miss the Bush years for a single reason - we all had a common enemy, and it wasn't each other. 
If someone were to go into the the Senator Sanders group and state, respectfully, that they were a Secretary Clinton supporter, they would not be banned from the group outright, unless they showed disrespect to Senator Sanders and his supporters. As you can see, I came here not to denigrate the Secretary or her supporters, but to embrace them and to be helpful.
If the Secretary Clinton group wants to ban me for just being a Senator Sanders supporter *who has said repeatedly that he will vote for Secretary Clinton in November*, so be it. However, by doing so, the group risks alienating that potential vote for her. I have no idea why anyone would do that to their candidate.
The point of my first post was a respectful reminder to the OP that Skinner extended the deadline for the transition to the GE.
At the end of the day, we're still all on the same side.
I haven't been blocked from this group, which I sincerely appreciate, even after I posted something that could be construed as negative about Secretary Clinton a few months ago (I apologized to my friend Cha because I didn't realize I was in this group until they pointed it out).
I hope to be a positive contributor to this group, after the convention and into the GE. Yes, the nomination process is all-but-over, and my candidate has not prevailed. That is not to say I think he should go away just yet. I still believe in his message and his inclusion in the process has only strengthened Secretary Clinton. I am not a dead ender. I'm a pragmatist, and an idealist, both by my core nature (the inner conflict kicks my ass from time to time ).
In 2004, I was a Governor Dean supporter, then a Secretary Kerry supporter. In 2008, I was a Vice President Biden supporter (we're related - his late wife Neilia was my 2nd cousin) and then a President Obama supporter after the Vice President dropped out. Of course, I was a President Obama supporter in 2012. Now, I'm a Senator Sanders supporter and will be until Secretary Clinton officially gets the nomination.
Inter-party politics is not something I feel THAT emotionally bound to. Like I said before, at the end of the day, we all ALL on the SAME side!
(on edit: I have cast 4 votes for President and Secretary Clinton in my lifetime - 2 for the President and 2 for the Secretary - for US Senator of NY. I have never voted against them - I didn't vote in the 2008 primary because of a health issue at the time)
I'm sure the overwhelming majority of Sanders supporters will come around. We have an enemy, and his name is Trump. 
the stupid.. will no longer be welcome. That will be Awesome.
And, for the Record.. Hillary is the Stronger Candidate.. that's why she WON. Which BS cannot Acknowledge.
He's done nothing but Disingenuously Demonize her for Months now.. along with the m$m, the gop, and trump.. and she Beat them All.
BS is not the gd boss.. he doesn't get to dictate the gd terms.
And, just to ******* clarify ...
