The point has been made, but I'd like to again note the following current REC LIST:

This is actually a relatively good showing for MyDD, with only 60% of the Rec List devoted to piefighttery.  Its still a tremendous waste of energy.  

And so a modest proposal in the name of energy conservation:

1.  Obama supporters need not make the case for Obama any longer.  Clinton supporters need not trash the party's presumptive nomineee anymore.  This fight is largely generational, cuts to the core of liberal values that have. for better or worse, evolved over the decades, and is tied up inextricably with the hard feelings that occasion a hotly-contested primary.  Some folks are just going to be angry...and that's their right.

2.  All folks can agree that progressive causes still need fighting for.  Regardless of one vote we'll all be casting (or not casting) in November, let's keep piefighterry off the Rec List.

3.  Let's make the Rec List an impressive sampling of progressive policy discussion, shall we?  Or how about diaries providing much needed attention to all of our downticket candidates?  Or about why politics is something to be excited about (rather than angry and unproductive)?

Let's just all focus on NOT reccing piefighttery.  Let piefighttery remain on the long list.  Let's just all focus on writing and reccing substantive discussion of everything NOT presidential.  The front pagers can handle that.
