First principles of non-violence: 1) Self-purification precedes political action. 2) The end is inherent in the means. 3) Even psychological violence blocks miracles. Say it however but the point is this: Democrats hating on other Democrats will help re-elect Trump #repairamerica

Trump’s power derives from his power to divide; our power to override that lies in our power to unite. Argue? Yes. Make our points abundantly clear? Yes. But threaten that if the nominee isn’t our chosen candidate then we won’t vote blue? That’s a sure way to guarantee he wins.

Is the system rigged, corrupt & held tight in the hands of a few? Oh you bet; I don’t think anyone’s clearer about that than me. But nothing justifies giving the election to Donald Trump.The Suffragettes agreed with the Abolitionists: We need to deal with the greatest evil first.

Self-purification won't happen if, before I vote my truths, I declare my fealty to a nominee or outcome operating at cross-purposes to my values. I can't give voice to my values if I am muzzled from asserting what I oppose. Now's the time to reject, not abide, racist oligarchs.

That's true. When I'm feeling low, that's when I get most aggravated with ppl with other political views and I'm less effective in my dialogues. When I'm in better balance with myself, my interactions are far more productive. I'd imagine everyone is like that.

"Dems hating on dems" whitewashes the important distinction between crony capitalist Dems & Dem who represent the 99%. Northrum's Gun Control bill WAS VOTED DOWN BY CENTRIST DEMS in Virginia!! Don't stan for "Any Dem Will Do, Marianne. That's just sports team thinking.

You mean like saying the candidate leading the delegate count has no vision and is a corporate tool?

If this is about Bloomberg. Hope you know he is arguably worse than Trump. We have to unite behind Bernie or nothing changes, and the world burns
