    Yep: very important to recognize that the online snipping between supporters of various candidates doesn't represent the feelings of the vast majority of the Democratic electorate.https://twitter.com/aedwardslevy/status/1097926472411549698 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    To pick two candidates more or less at random: only 18% of Dems who like Kamala Harris have an unfavorable view of Bernie Sanders. Only 12% of Dems who like Sanders have an unfavorable view of Harris.

        Yes, so everyone on the bird should chill out and let's have a vote.

        Mostly, they don't care, and are annoyed that their taxes have gone up. :-( Hell of a way to decide elections.

        I just hope we can all agree to vote for whoever the hell wins the nomination in general. I think Bernie and Warren are much better than Harris or Booker or the other clowns, but a centrist is better than a fascist 10/10 times.

        Most people involved in the online snipping just really want people to unite behind a candidate and are worried that they will not behind, say, Anyone but Bernie. Most of the people who were “Angry Clinton supporters fighting Bernie bros” would have voted for Bernie.

        I, for one example, have a fav, but am OK, so far, with anybody but Tulsi.

        It is simply too early to decide. Period. However: I will not tear down any Democratic presidential candidate. I will continue to keep myself informed, and encourage others to do the same. And no matter what, I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

        I suspected as much, glad to see it confirmed. The rhetoric is nearly overwhelming in my TL.
