Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: 'BernieBros' is a divisive term and shouldn't be used by Democrats who claim they want unity. [View all]NurseJackie

It's divisive when someone falsely claims that Democrats are "ideologically bankrupt".
It's divisive when someone smears and denigrates Democrats by calling us "feeble".
It's divisive when someone accuses the Democratic party of being "corrupt" and an "absolute failure".
It doesn't promote unity when someone claims that the Democratic party is "the party of the one-percent" or that the Democratic party is "party of the elite".
It also does not promote unity or trust when someone says there's "no difference between Democrats and Republicans."
It's an outright lie for someone to claim that the Democratic party "doesn't care about climate change."
What good purpose does it serve for someone to say that that the Democrats "focus too much" on diversity and that the party isn't "particularly sympathetic" to the working class.
Whenever someone is worried about the feelings of a particular subset of voters, I often wonder why that same concern about "unity" isn't also being expressed when the ENTIRE PARTY is being smeared and denigrated?
Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
