I start the day and see that @neeratanden blocked me.

We were friendly colleagues at @HillaryClinton's 2008 campaign. I've never once attacked her personally.

But I've been increasingly vocal about the need to overhaul the Democratic Party. And that bothers some people.
@neeratanden @HillaryClinton I cannot in good conscience look at our current reality and say that the Democratic Party has successfully opposed the GOP's radical rightwing agenda.

Despite some Dem electoral victories, the far right has established a firm grip on the Republican Party and on our government.
@neeratanden @HillaryClinton I believe the only viable path to stopping encroaching fascism is a mass (nonviolent) movement of the PEOPLE.

So I don't take Neera's blocking personally. I understand that by embracing #Bernie's people-powered movement, I've pissed off some former Clinton friends and allies.
@neeratanden @HillaryClinton I know that by holding the Obamas, Clintons, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, etc. accountable for failing to stop the rise of the extreme right, I'll make myself an outsider to the Beltway political/media class.

But that's fine. I feel at home in the grassroots #NotMeUs movement.
