(9,241 posts)I wonder if/how many on DU are here for that purpose. This was one of the biggest tactics Russia used against Dems during 2016 election ie: cause division and infighting amongst Dem coalitions - Sanders and Clinton. Are they still at it?
Both Hillary and Bernie did/would do stuff I disagree with. As for him slamming her in the primary - IT WAS A PRIMARY. The different candidates are SUPPOSED to fight and distinguish themselves from one another. Pfft.
I'm not interested in purity tests, re-fighting whatever happened in 2016 primaries. We don't have TIME FOR THAT and we CANNOT AFFORD IT.
BUILDING A COALITION is what Perez and Sanders are trying to do and it's the right thing to do. Is it perfect? NO.
WHAT is in this life? NOTHING.
I wish people would stop letting their idea of PERFECT destroy a coalition of what's RIGHT and BENEFICIAL to the party going forward. EYES ON THE BIG PICTURE, please.
