Hey, Berniacs: I Learned to Love Hillary and So Can You

An Obama 2008 veteran, who’s been on a campaign that was in a position similar to Clinton’s and that had to reconcile with Clinton, offers his thoughts.

Maybe you don’t believe that she’s different from the caricature we’ve all helped perpetuate. But she is running a campaign with a policy platform that’s more progressive than her husband’s administration, her 2008 campaign, and—in a few cases—Barack Obama’s administration.

Guess what? Bernie Sanders helped make that happen. He helped push Hillary Clinton to the left. And he should keep pushing her if she becomes president.

So keep your passion, your energy, and even your outrage. Just focus it on November.

Sanders polls much better vs Trump than Clinton does.

These polls mean literally nothing unless the election is tomorrow. Stop paying attention to them. They are fodder for partisans and talking heads in need of filler. It's akin to looking at the weather report 6 months out and committing to an Everest summit bid on a certain day based on it.

The super delegates are the democratic party's version of the senate. Their purpose is to smooth out the voting spikes of populism and to insure the electability of the candidate emerging from the primary. Their battle cry is "Remember Hubert Humphrey!"
