The circular firing squad so endemic to the Left is deeply destructive, leaving us battered and weakened before the Right even takes a shot. Nothing plays into the hands of our opponents more than our viciousness towards one another.

According to Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence, the end is inherent in the means. If we’re hateful to each other now, we’re not going to be able to all come together in some kumbaya effort once the nominee is chosen. Anger weakens us.We can practice respectful disagreement now.

This particular circular firing squad has been created by the unflinching use of identity politics and made even more deadly by the concept of intersection.

This is the only way that humanity will survive! We are allowing weakness and anger to permeate the forefront of what is supposed to be a United Nation. We are dividing ourselves and allowing the enemy to see clearly where to attack! Get the money and the egos out of politics💯

Marianne I completely agree, which is why you should call out the shameful smears against Bernie from “other party members” instead of letting them fester and do more damage and divisiveness or ignoring them.

Did I miss something? Did Bernie "fire" at Warren? Asking seriously? I am seeing that Warren is already aligning with Neera, HRC, the centrist and their media outlets, CNN, MSNBC--despite what she says on the campaign trail. That camp is mutually exclusive to the movement.

Hmm methinks its more the followers and bots that are “vicious” not necessarily the candidates...mmm maybe one🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

I believe these actions are the result of deep seated fears we all experience at times. Being in favor of love and peace are laudable but are not enough. I believe we must understand and work on our fear and pain as well. I have more to say here: messagerain.com/workshops.ht…

No offense, no party was nastier to their eventual nominee than the Republicans were to Trump. Hillary Clinton and Obama were vicious to each other. "Playing nice" and winning elections have never gone hand in hand. This is something made up by Hillary as an excuse for losing.

What made Stalin such a genius and innovator was his willingness to murder his fellow communists. The Left must look to Stalin for inspiration during these trying times!

Warren is not the Left. She voted for Trump's budget. She gave him a standing ovation when he basically said the left would never win. She worked with CNN to get Bernie on a hot mic and to try and take him down, so that she could be Biden's VP. She is an opponent.
