We must keep moving forward.

I’m going to preface this by saying that if we work together BERNIE WINS IN JUNE, but we still have much to overcome.

The opposition is tricking us into preying on other Berners…

They are exploiting these combining factors.

Some Boomers are uncomfortable with the Bernie or Bust attitude.

Millennials are uncomfortable with how close the Boomer argument is to the active mitigation argument that is heard from people trying to slow down the revolution.

There has been a lot of name-callings and that can only mean one thing.

We have been betraying the message of Love that got us this far, many have been guilty of it.

His message has never changed.

Let’s all move forward and fix our problems at once by getting back to that idea….

Our message is Love our goal is Unification…

So, here are two ideas that resolve both problems, LET’S STOP BEING MEAN TO EACH OTHER AND LET’S ALL GO ALL IN ON BERNIE UNTIL AT LEAST THE CONVENTION… YOU SHOULD GO LONGER BECAUSE THE REVOLUTION HAS JUST BEGUN!

Let’s CELEBRATE what a diverse group of people support our candidate, but…

ANYONE UNWILLING TO DO THOSE TWO THINGS ARE BEING AGITATORS.

THE FIRST RULE OF BERNIE CLUB IS…

We all share one goal and we have to police ourselves but calling each other troll isn’t working… either we are agitating or we are participating… What are you doing?

Agitators are on both sides, the ones on our side are more dangerous than the ones on the oppositions, but they don’t know it. They are being manipulated by others who support their fears… This group of fear supporters are not Bernie supporters.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF ISSUES WE NEED SUPPORTERS ATTACKING BUT EACH OTHER IS NOT ON THAT LIST. IF THEY ARE ATTACKING BERNERS SHUT IT DOWN.

BERNER’S SHOULDN’T BEHAVE THAT WAY AND THEN WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHO IS WHO.

We knew this was going to be hard, this is the narrowest point, we grow from here.

I have a dream that this could be true one day.

WE ARE TEAM BERNIE, SO LET’S GET OUR TEAM ORGANIZED AND FOCUS OUR EFFORTS A DIRECTION THAT WILL HELP US…!

Phonebanking, facebanking, footbanking, focusing on Bernie’s message with people who don’t know about him and embolden those that do with fresh information.

Do it with a smile and focus on what interests them, the goal is to drive them to seek more information or to get directly registered, so don’t worry about convincing everyone.

WE ARE TAKING BACK OUR COUNTRY, THIS IS A PARTY, A CELEBRATION… Let's HAVE FUN WITH IT. WE DO THIS AND EVERYONE WILL WANT AN INVITE.

Also, if you are going to protest a candidate make it the one we are running against now.

There has been some debate as to the authenticity of myself and my message, here is me giving a speech on Sat to a large group of volunteers who were afraid to phonebank…
