message that might spark some discussion (you can't change minds completely and quickly either). I liken it to my experience with my daughter and her friends. My daughter was a Elizabeth Warren fan and would go to Bernie second (at least initially before she began to despise him). In any event her friends were Bernie or Bust people. When it became clear it was going to be Biden she began constantly reinforcing to her friends that they needed to swallow their feelings and support Biden. That she was going to do that and why. She got initial pushback or begrudgingly "sure". By the time of the election they were actually excited about what Biden could do. It took constant reinforcement, but was slow. Just a thought. I know it won't work for or on everyone.
