    He shouldn’t acknowledge her support at best. At worst just say he appreciates any additional support in the important endeavor. End quote.

      You have to reward the behavior you want to see. I don’t like her, and I think she’s done tons of horrible shit. But if she suddenly woke up tomorrow and because a leftist, I’d fucking cheer her on and become a supporter. Even if she was only doing it out of spite to republicans she felt wronged by. Because it’s more important that good shit gets done than that we hold grudges against people. So even though she’s not a full blown leftist right now, and probably never will be, I’m still going to cheer on the good behavior I do see and continue to call out and pushback against the bad behavior

      Bernie needs every ally he can get, and honestly, republicans have a much better track record of actually passing legislation they want, so maybe some republicans having moments of clarity and supporting basic human rights is a damn good thing
