(94,701 posts)...maybe not around the candidate of one's choice, but I don't see where we aren't.
It's Democratic primary season. People are advocating for the candidates of their choice. Discussion isn't dividing. Arguing about policy or candidate in our primary isn't dividing. It's a normal part of our political process.
I really don't see any diminution in Democratic enthusiasm or participation, not from social media nonsense, or from dissenters within our party. The key thing is that these challenges are not coming from independents, but from people stepping up and seeking recognition under our Democratic banner.
To some that's something ominous or sinister. To me, that's the way we build coalitions and expand our voter base. I really don't see a threat to 'unity' among Democrats in this election season, at any stage, to match the (perhaps understandable) angst.
