I see #BernieBros is trending. Let me tell you something about us:
We are women and men and non-binary, Black, white, Hispanic, asian. We are the most diverse group of supporters of ANY candidate. We are not a monolith you can describe with an insulting, alliterative nickname.

We are young. We are old. We are poor. We are, by and large, without healthcare. We are idealistic. We are angry. We are afraid.
You have spent more time hating us than hearing us, so let me tell you what it looks like from inside here.

I have never met a group of people — strange and diverse as we may be — who are more ready to fight for the well-being of those around them.
Who are more dedicated to the health and welfare of this nation.
Who believe more passionately that a better world IS possible.

When we get together we tell each other stories of medical debt. Of family members lost. Of terror that we won't live to see a world with breathable air.
We talk about the knowledge that time is running out.

We are dissimilar in every way except the one that counts: We believe it can be better than it is.
We believe everyone deserves healthcare. Dignity. And compassion. We believe this nation has failed to live up to the ideals it has claimed for 200 years.

And we believe we can change it.
Scratch that -- WE KNOW we can change it.

I have spent so many countless hours fighting against this stupid, reductive nickname — one that erases the work and the souls of MILLIONS OF US.
I have gentled ruffled feathers and spoken with sweet civility while MY FRIENDS DIE. While our country fucking withers.

And I want to rage and scream and work WITH YOU to fix this. Because we are failing our nation. Again. And our world. Again.
The old rules no longer matter, and the new aren't yet written.
So you can call me whatever you want. I'm a #BernieBro forever.
