Democratic Primaries

(45,433 posts)9. Plenty of smart liberals fell for divisive stuff during and after the primaries
known GOP operatives were openly trying to turn Bernie supporters against Hillary because of the DNC interference, for example.
Hillary supporters still hold hostility against anyone who even suggests our party/candidate should do things differently this time, like campaign more in upper midwest states. Even if our candidate is busy, they should send surrogates from the area to go and talk to people and listen and make them feel valued. Mayor Pete can do this. Bernie can do this.
The fact that I will be flamed for posting this is a big part of the problem. Dems are easily divided and many are looking for a reason to be angry at other Dems.
