(797 posts)Joe Biden your preferred candidate has been running for president or discussing it for more than 2 cycles. This is his third shot at it and he has never obtained traction in any race. However, noone attacks your right to support Joe Biden as a disunifying action but somehow supporting Bernie is disunifying.
More important is the fact that it is very usual for candidates to run again if they were the also runner in the last election. Think Hillary Clinton. She ran in 2008 and did not win in a contentious primary and then ran again in 2016. I assume you would not think her running again screwed up party unity? However, this is the usual process so don't get out of whack cause someone runs who other people support and think they are disunity. Support your own candidate, don't tear down others and other supporters. Then you will not be guilty of what you are accusing others -- screwing up party unity.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
