In 2016, I was on this website as some on the left shredded Hillary in ways that I believe ultimately weakened her in the general. Everyone said it’s a primary so it’s ok. Now as we hit the heat of the primary, many people are gleefully doing it again to multiple candidates.
Any candidate can be criticized. And some actions-like defending a dictator who slaughters children-is beyond the pale. But the personal assaults on candidates reminds me of 2016. The mainstream Dems running are not equal to Trump, none of them. Try to remember that.
I’m not a big Sanders Stan but I will support him if he’s the nominee.

People, Trump’s re-election is an existential threat. If you do not think the GOP is watching these attacks and will amplify them in the general, you’re wrong.
Finally, if you’re assaulting candidate in my mentions, I will block. You can do that on your own timeline.
