And I might add this, Trumps & his crowd desire this hostility in us. Helps Trump to win.

Part of that hostility is ....guess who?...Bernie himself, his personality and demeanor

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

But it's Bernie's fault that you won't get behind him? Downtown Hound Feb 2020 #7

Nope. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #16

Nope. Biden actually is my preference Downtown Hound Feb 2020 #26

He's divisive *on DU*, not "in our party." DU is not the Democratic Party. DanTex Feb 2020 #13

Nah, he's divisive in the party, as well. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #18

Is there any evidence of that? Because the polls don't show that at all. DanTex Feb 2020 #20

The polls show exactly that. The democratic Party is split in half. beastie boy Feb 2020 #22

Is this sentence true? "He's spent decades railing against it and claiming both sides are bad." Stuart G Feb 2020 #23

Everything he's said about the Democratic party IS WRONG. Where's the apology and retraction? NurseJackie Feb 2020 #24

But, by God, the GOP will not be divided ! kentuck Feb 2020 #17

Same as us. The ones who show up will be united. The ones who show up. nt MisterFred Feb 2020 #43
