Hey friends, just a reminder that today would be a good day to let folks who have been enthusiastic about Bernie Sanders’ campaign talk about their feelings and not do things like try to recruit them to vote for somebody else, or worse, gloat.

As someone who was crushed for weeks following the candidate I believed in’s departure from the race, hearing supporters of other candidates gloating and/or trying to recruit me really soured me.

It was honestly a kind of grieving.

Add to that the fact that a lot of Sanders supporters have been supporting his candidacy for the better part of 6 years.

Not to mention that many people are grieving about many things right now.

I know that things have gotten pretty heated, but please take today to exercise empathy, compassion, and love toward your friends. It’s always worth it.

Hell, take the week.
