I didn’t write this. It was posted by a Disqus commenter on politicalwire.com.
Whoever that person was didn’t write it either. It was posted to their FB.
So attribution problems aside:

**No Democrat is perfect.**
Your first AND second choices may have dropped out. Your third might. But the nominee, no matter who she or he is, won’t be perfect. They won’t pass your purity test. And yet every single one of them will be better than four more years of Trump!!!
Please be reasonable. Show up in November and vote Blue!!
Share widely so we can stay united!!
