Yes, excellent. Money quote: "We're Democrats. Nominating fights define us. It's how and why we're progressive. We air it out. It is condescending to think that Clinton, who would be the first woman to head a major party presidential ticket in U.S. history, should have already stepped aside in deference to the third-year junior senator from Illinois. "The point, however, isn't about blatant sexism (or her stubbornness), it's that the nominee isn't the nominee until they officially cross the finish line, and any maneuvers by opponents prior to that are not dirty pool, they're the system as the political parties designed it and redesign it every four years. It's a fine and meaningful enterprise, even if we sometimes build it wrong."
