In the GE, whoever the Democratic nominee is will be battling GOP racism and sexism.

in light of the REAL STAKES in this election on those issues, it's kind of stupid in the primary to be dividing up and riling up people racially and by gender, and creating polarization among people who basically agree on those issues.

It is especially stupid because whomever the nominee is will be battling for the same principles on them.

You make enemies among your allies now, they will be much less likely to have your back in November.

Divide and conquer -- and the GOP will conquer us.

We on the left half of the spectrum are a bunch of goddamn idiots sometimes..
