Vote for Bernie, and...

Please be sure to avoid candidate shaming other Democrats. In order to better consolidate support from former candidates in the Democratic primaries, and to be the change we so desperately need, we must approach people with kindness. I know that each camp has its share of good supporters and belligerent supporters. As Bernie supporters, we must acknowledge that due to our campaign’s size it also has more loud, problematic people who have passion that needs to be reigned in for the sake of what I mentioned above.

We must not take the bait. When interacting with supporters of other Democratic candidates, we need to be ready to disagree and do so respectfully. Doing so will help bring more people over when more candidates drop out, and they likely will. Share this message far and wide; we need to win, and doing so will require a degree of unity with those who support Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard right now. It is necessary to have passion and a sense of urgency regarding our revolution; let’s make it count. We must be prepared to listen when Bernie asks us to approach the Democratic field with civility, now more than ever. Do not apologize for disagreement on the issues, and show humility for taking passions too far. I have done this and I aim to be better about disagreement with fellow Democrats in the future as best as I can. I say this as a true Bernie supporter, a constituent of his, and a candidate for Bernie Sanders’ delegate who is about to turn in his primary ballot.

Join me to help Bernie win. If we can get him to be the Democratic nominee, we can absolutely defeat Trump. A progressive nominee who galvanizes support in lieu of senseless attacks (think about Barack Hussein Obama) will win this election. The socialist attack will be tough, and similarly devious lines will be used against whomever wins the nomination. What we need is someone who can win, and then govern from a place of strength. That person is Bernie Sanders. Let’s win Super Tuesday for Bernie Sanders.

Stay groovy,
Asher
