1/ The constant relitigation of a primary that Bernie Sanders never should have been allowed to run in is not endearing me the man.

2/ It's actually forcing me to question my ability to support a party that refuses to learn from it's own mistakes.

It's incomprehensible.

3/ That Democrats continue to allow an insurgent, non-affiliated white man control the narrative is frustrating and confusing.

4/ At no single point during the entire primary did Sanders appear anything but some variation on revolted/annoyed/angry with the party.

5/ He kept himself at arm's length with his nose held the entire time and encouraged his supporters to do the same.

The entire primary.

6/ When asked if he would ever join the party? Contorted face. Heavy sighs. Refusal.

As a lifelong Democrat I was perplexed and revolted.

7/ He said worse things about the party he was running to lead than I've heard many Republicans say, even in private.

8/ Bernie Sanders ran to USE the party's infrastructure and prestige to his advantage and then did everything he could to destroy both.

9/ His actions during the campaign and the ungracious way he treated the party's nominee afterwards made any future w/ the party impossible.

10/ And yet here we are, two years later dealing with the old dude's continued bullshit--the same bullshit we've had to deal since day one.

11/ All of this & I'm supposed to feel what? Anger? Guilt? Embarrassment? that he felt less than welcomed by the party he openly ridiculed?

12/ EFF all of that noise.

All of it.

I'm so tired of dealing w/ the bruised egos of the whining men Hillary Clinton has shown the door.

13/ If I'm honest I don't even care if the Clinton campaign did twist a few nipples to ensure the nomination.

Men do that shit everyday.

14/ My love of Obama aside, the speed w/ which many white male Dems deserted her in '08, more than disproves a huge institutional advantage.

15/ That screaming into an empty room feeling that Bernie Sanders seems to believe he experienced had nothing to do with the woman.

16/ It was because he was not a Democrat and never intended to become a Democrat and, surprise, Democrats did not like that.

17/ But the facts are facts & @HillaryClinton has always been more loyal to the Democratic Party than it has ever been to her.

By leagues.

18/ The number of white male Dems that turned on her in the press at every opportunity was unbearable at times.

So stop with the rigged.

19/ @HillaryClinton has never had a goddamned institutional advantage at any point in her life.

It's always been this bullshit.

20/ Inferior white guys with chips on their shoulders at every turn.

I can't imagine the indignities she has have to suffer in her life.

21/ I mean the public shit has been hard enough to watch.

Can you imagine the poison she's had to battle behind the scenes?

Rigged my ass.

22/ There is a lot I'm willing to do for my party to win back Congress and the Presidency. But supporting Bernie Sanders is not one of them.

23/ That is a bridge way too far

I am a Democrat. I am a @HillaryClinton supporter.

Bernie Sanders is neither of those things.

24/ So come for me now Bros.

I can handle it.

My skin is thick, my facts are checked, and heart is full.
