Thank you BERNIE for gracefully dropping out. Let's unify and WIN!

1. Did Webster's reassign a new meaning to the word "graceful"

Because that’s not what this is.

8. Just trying to stay positive. This initial step should lead to more solid steps from Bernie

We need to encourage harmony

[HarlanPepper]

10. It starts with him.

That’s the rub.

[TDale313]

12. Just stop.

He was not my primary choice, but Bernie Bashing is not gonna be helpful. The *vast* majority of Bernie supporters will vote for the Dem nominee. Don’t make that harder for them. You expect them to suck it up and do the right thing? Show them you doing it yourself.

[HarlanPepper]

13. I will continue to observe and comment. But thanks anyway.

[TDale313]

15. That's your right, I suppose, but hurts the cause.

Which for all of us should be “beat Trump”

[HarlanPepper]

16. I've been on that train for a long time

This has never been an issues campaign for me, it’s been a “the only thing that matters is beating trump” campaign.

M4A, and other purity issues have been a total non factor in my own personal calculus.

So, Your reminder might be of better use with a slightly different crowd.

4. Gracefully? Guess you didn't watch his speech. n/t

[George II]

5. Did you see the same speech everyone else saw?

[Turbineguy]

7. I hope many of his good ideas

will become an important part of the platform.

Now, the republican Fifth Columnists can slither back to the ooze from whence they came.

[ucrdem]

9. Except that he isn't.

I expect we'll next hear that fundraising will continue apace.

[FM123]

11. While there is much debate here on DU about how graceful he was or was not...

The one thing not in debate is how GRATEFUL we are that he did. Thank you Bernie. And I say that sincerely.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

17. Hear! Hear!

[The Magistrate]

14. Graceful Acceptance, Sir, Does Not Seem To Be In The Man

It is a shame, but that is how it is.





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
