Broken Record Time: all wings of the Democratic Party need to turn out in November if we're going to beat Trump. I think some candidates will have an easier time doing this than others. 1/
But threatening not to vote for a particular candidate or predicting that that a particular candidate will necessarily fail to do this just makes it harder for Democrats to win in the fall. 2/
Political Twitter is basically pretty poisonous. This website encourages the sort of simplistic, manichean thinking and mob behavior that actively interfere with building unity among people with serious disagreements. 3/
So it's kind of up to all of us Democratic voters -- whoever we support in the primary -- not to freak out or make empty declarations that ONLY so-and-so can beat Trump or that so-and-so can NEVER beat Trump. 4/
And, whether our preferred candidate is winning or losing, it is never a good idea to act as if the _real_ enemy are other Democratic candidates. It's fine to argue over who we ought to nominate. But let's keep our arguments honest and measured. 5/
And let's recognize that anyone who can win a Democratic nomination can win in November...but nobody is guaranteed to win in November. 6/6
