It's about the situation. Supporters of various candidates are losing their shit - again.

Here's something I don't get - Hillary has to know her spat with Tulsi actually gave her campaign a boost.

I wonder if we'll see the same thing with Bernie. 🤷

We saw the same handwringing that we are seeing now and then Gabbard cratered, with massive disapproval numbers and now her political career dead in the water.

As for if we will see the same thing with her comments about Sanders, we can only hope!

...and when that wore off, she was left with some of the highest disapproval numbers in the party and her political career is effectively over as a Democrat.

We will doubtless be seeing an increase in trolls and disruptors, the closer we get to the election.

They should be called out before they are allowed to fester and hurt our eventual Democratic nominee for yet another election.

By the way, has Yang made any public comment about the consistent divisiveness shown to other candidates by a certain candidate's supporters?

You can’t control them.

You can control your surrogates and campaign staff. And yourself.

That applies to everyone.

Supporters, surrogates, campaign staff -- they are all parroting the same sort of divisive attacks and have been for months now.

A supporter from posting something here. Or on twitter.

The campaign people, or the surrogates with you at rallies, you sure can do something.

You can even fire them. Or have them not speak at rallies with you.
