Update: I am having trouble commenting. Thanks for the nice words. Solidarity. We can do this!

Here, for all you naysayers calling your friend and fellow Democrat Spud ugly names, is a brief statement from Bernie that explains all this process clearly, and that validates much of my own rhetoric and advocacy here:

Sanders is bolstered by the DNC, mentioned in this speech, in his claim that counting Super delegates prior to the convention vote is:

inaccurate.

Further, he outlines the basic pitch to the Supers.

Called it. Hell, I called this a LONG time ago.

Take some time to understand Sanders. Why do this?

Because those of us who have are coming to a district near you. This man has ran a campaign from nothing, on a positive policy vision, and is now positioned to win all of it big. His campaign is motivated by simple human need and is noble at the core. The policy vision is equitable, just and true. Politics is changing this year. You, I, everyone involved did that!

Old school cool. I like old school. Seems a good way to given the raw deal we have been getting from “new” politics of various kinds for the last 40 years or so.

Finally, all you Sanders people out there. Could you have done more? There is time left. Phone bank. Please. This matters. It is not over.

Stand strong. Don’t take shit from clowns. You are not dead enders. You are not crazy. You are nothing but ordinary Americans participating in an open Democracy, paying your own way, seeking more and better from our party and government.

All of this is completely acceptable, it is the law of the land, the intent of the land, and you have put the cost of ignoring Progressives and the least and downtrodden among us at a quarter billion dollars large. Great work, but there is more to do. It is not over!

Take pride in our numbers. Take comfort in the campaign being noble, just and true. Take great security in the fact that the world is watching us in solidarity and that we can still prevail.

We mean this people. We want to win, and we will be doing all we can to win.

No matter what our opponents do, this is just a start. More is coming to a district near you. Better is coming too. We are about a positive policy vision, and we have done what others say is impossible and that is to stand tall on people money, speaking truth to power, and win elections!

Don’t listen to a word of any marginalization. We are making history on a progressive platform! We are beautiful and strong.

No time for fear, naysayers and shame. There is no shame in this campaign. It is the best politics I’ve ever experienced, and I’ll not have it be denigrated and marginalized.

Fuck that.

Sanders and this powerful new movement is coming of age right before your eyes and it deserves great respect and consideration.

That is all. You know what to do. Go and do it unabashedly. It is the right thing to do.
