Okay, so I have made no bones that I support Bernie in this race. But I am not blind and do see that it is unlikely he will win the race at the convention and be the Democratic Candidate.
That being said, let me tell you what I worry about.
The Bernie movement is so popular, and picking up more steam, because the things that Bernie is saying resonate so strongly with so many. I actually believe that what he says resonates with many that are voting for Clinton as well, they just do not believe that he can get what he says he wants to do done. Considering how badly Obama has been blocked by the Republicans for the past 8 years, I can really understand that concern.
But the problems that the Bernie movement want to solve will not go away just because the crazy-ass Republicans (and remind me that I never want to even pass through southern states ever again, really Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Alabama?) block everything with their do-nothing campaign. Instead, we need to actually work on these things.
Free college, and forgiving all college debt, single-payer health care system, going more forcefully after the rich to pay their fair share of taxes.. These are all very important, and I believe doable.
Here is what I want to see from you, Hillary Clinton, I want to see you
I understand #bernieorbust but I am more strongly #nevertrump and think that this is the path we need to take to not allow Trump to destroy our country and run us into World War III (I think Putin is drooling at the thought of another big war and the ability to blame the USA for it).
Please Hillary Clinton, consider my suggestions and let's start building bridges. Some people are never going to support you but let's gather all the folks together to fight against Trump, because that is so important.
Understand that you may claim to be progressive, but you are not progressive enough.
Sincerely yours,
A USA Liberal Woman

Here is what I want to see from you, Hillary Clinton, I want to see you
- Make super-nice with Bernie and his followers.
- Openly acknowledge that all of the things that Bernie wants to get done are worth trying for in a systematic way that you are 100% behind.
- Ask Bernie to please be your Vice President.
