Many Bernie Sanders supporters were depressed after Hillary Clinton won four out of five primaries in the Northeast. They need not be. The political revolution has not materialized: It is still materializing.

Hillary Clinton has not won yet but absent a complete meltdown on her part, self-inflicted or otherwise, she will be the Democratic nominee for president. Math is absolute. Those who believe in real democracy—one person one vote—should not try to impose a different will on the majority. That would be hypocritical.

It’s clear that many believe some who voted for Secretary Clinton were misled or misinformed. Guess what? Many Hillary Clinton supporters feel the same way about Bernie Sanders supporters.

Our triggers differ. Some people believe that we need revolutionary change. Some people want incremental change. Some people believe we need revolutionary change, but they believe the only option is to settle for incrementalism. The latter two positions are likely to win in the Democratic Party this cycle.

When the day is over, win or lose, both Bernie and Hillary will be fine. Everyone must remember the average supporter is just that: A supporter in a sea of supporters that ultimately means little to the individual candidates. We should carry no personal baggage for either candidate.

Those who believe that America needs a revolutionary change must convince those who think differently to re-evaluate their positions. This has to be done by developing mutual respect between parties. Both parties must stop talking past each other and speak to each other.

This is easier said than done, as proven by this reader’s email.
