That its Democratic leadership, that has repeatedly and openly attacked progressives and after progressives have won their primaries, questioning voter judgement, even saying the Democratic Party should just disqualify them and choose the candidate they want to win, not what the voters wanted.
All those things happened after the NY primaries.

Hell there were some saying that Goldman losing his primary in NYC was antisemitic... except the majority of voters in that district are Jewish and the person that won the primary is also Jewish.

Progressive continue to win elections and Democratic consultants and leadership continue to attack them. Openly saying the DNC should refuse to support progressive candidates or the Democratic caucus should refuse to allow them to caucus with Democrats if elected.
That is the opposite of unity.

They don't want unity, they want obedience. We, the public, are not here to serve them, they are elected to serve the Democratic Party voters.
