Open warfare on Twitter between Neera Tanden and David Sirota (and respective supporters)

I guess it started with this?

...Neera came back with:

...and it's devolving from there (as we speak).

Dear supporters of both... your aim is WAY the fuck off. Remember this guy?

P.S. Also remember that Twitter is a battlefield rife with Russian trolls, who are more than happy to divide the Democratic party in order to facilitate a win for Trump in 2020.

He never misses an opening to stir up nonsense like this that only serves to divided and tear down. We're watching a repeat of the types of infighting that happened in 16 in real time and some folks seem all to willing to ignore that fact. Tear down the "front runner", whoever holds that title at a given moment, in an attempt to show just how "pure" the other candidate is by outrageous comparison. And the "puritists" become indoctrinated to the idea that only one path or candidate is able to accomplish their goals. That type of nonsense leads to idiots booing American Icons like John Lewis on the DNC stage.

This crap needs to be called out for what it is or we will end up ushering in another Trump term in office, I can guarantee you.
