I am proudly going to vote for @ewarren tomorrow and I hope you’ll join me. But it’s a primary and we won’t all agree. This is the time to fight that out. If only we could do that without assuming that people supporting another candidate don’t have the right motives.
We all have our own reasons for picking our candidates and they are all valid. I wish people wouldn’t vote based on a flawed electability narrative or a media narrative that I don’t agree with, but we each get one vote to do with what we will.
When this is all over, I know that I will also proudly vote for the nominee. I’m hoping that’s Warren, but if not, I’ll still be in. Again, that’s a decision for each of us to make, but if we want others to join our candidates when they win, we should start now.
And by that, I mean, we could start by understanding that people aren’t inherently bad for supporting one candidate or another, and that they may be open to changing their minds if you’re open to helping them better understand your candidate.
Most people are in this for their candidate, not necessarily against another candidate (except for Trump of course). We have just barely gotten started. If we limit our nominee’s support to the people voting for them now, we will never win.
