No need to make this about DU when the election results speak for themselves.

California voted at least twice now and the divisive tactics and/or the “Bernie” agenda didn’t prevail in the elections. I only put his name in quotes because you are the one trying to refight whatever it is you are trying to throw in. California voted and those results speak for themselves. No need to harass people who supported and voted for a long/standing Democrat. No need to be divisive about Feinstein’s win.
