Of the major candidates, he's the least unifying. Burning bridges and attacking Democrats and the Democratic party on innumerable occasions over a period of decades is a weird way of trying to unify the party.

"Unity shouldn’t mean that people who are suffering are told to just shut up and vote Democratic and we’ll get to your problems later. "

Nor should it mean telling people who don't support Sanders to shut up and unify already.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
