A healthy, respectful debate is crucial to having a vibrant political party. We are currently seeing in the Republican Party what can happen when unity and loyalty is more important than critical thinking.

As a national delegate for Bernie Sanders, I would like to see more of the super delegates stand with Bernie to show that they are ready to move the party to the Left and away from the center. If the Democratic Party embraces the politics of the Left it will be a win for the party regardless of which candidate wins the nomination.
