Hillary Willing to Work with Sanders on Shaping Democratic Platform

[Virginiá]

Has she?  She may have given in on international trade and on Wall Street regulations, but when it comes to single-payer and other issues, she has (more or less) held her ground.  

I don't get why singlepayer is so necessary for a Democratic nominee, or even being used as a measuring stick for how left you are (I see it used in this fashion quite a bit). For the time being, it will not pass Congress, even if we had a supermajority in the Senate and control of the House. Democrats will not risk losing control over healthcare reform for the 3rd time. They will put their own interests ahead of that this time around, should it ever come to that.

What I said (in a sarcastic tone) was in agreement with Hillary. I was stupified by Holmes' reaction by insinuating that because Hillary won, she should not consult with him on the issues for a united Democratic party. My point obviously did not come across, that Hillary is in the right here and I am glad to support her because of this. Anyone that thinks that because someone wins an election (especially a primary) they shouldn't factor in the usual half or so of people that were against them, is frankly ignorant. If anything, my post was a slam of Holmes, not of Hillary.

Oh, lol. My apologies! I had obviously seen the sarcasm but I thought it was the other way around.
