account of Pete's supporters at the steak fry

2. Me, too.

Way back in May, I predicted to my son and a skeptical political friend that Pete would be our nominee, and I continue to stand proudly by my prediction, for just the reasons you stated.

The author of that earlier article about the South Bend fundraiser noted (in the context of healthcare policy, but I think that this applies across the board) that Pete has an uncanny way of unifying people (in a realistic way - not papering over differences, but reminding people of their common dreams and common needs and shared values, despite those differences) rather than terrifying 1/2 of them. This magical ability will be key to winning the GE. (Which I also think he will do, provided that we have any semblance of a fair election )
