Divisions.

I recently read on CNN that there are some divisions going on between Bernie Sanders and other members of the Democratic Party; what I think is labeled the establishment, over charges of racism. I don't wish to attach any names
here at this time, because I think there is another issue behind this that needs to be addressed. The fact that Donald Trump will undoubtedly try to capitalize on divisions. Another fact is that Bernie Sanders supporters have been
unfairly stigmatized and blamed for Donald Trump's success. That has caused further friction between Bernie Sanders supporters and other Democrats, which Donald Trump will also try to capitalize on. See the problem? Now, I don't think
that very many of us see the election of Donald Trump as an acceptable outcome, so may I propose that Sanders supporters, Harris supporters, Booker supporters, Biden supporters or whoever else is competing or may be the last two
standing, should come up and agree upon some kind of method or strategy to block or fumble Donald Trump's of doing this in a way that not only allows for all involved "except for Donald Trump, of course" to keep their integrity and dignity, and for us all to remain victorious at the end of the election. It may be a good idea to come up with a strategy that can be used during the various midterm elections. Maybe some kind of under the table or tag team type strategy that would drive Trump and his supporters up the wall, instead of us going up the wall ourselves.

Many of his supporters are, and he did run for the Democratic nomination. Anyways, you did kind of miss my point. My point is that whatever divisions might occur, we need to figure out a way to fumble the attempts that Donald Trump may use to take advantage of them. And by the way, that kind of territorialism and nitpicking is the exact sort of thing that Trump loves to pounce on and use against us.
