This behavior hurt us in the last general election when this occurred between Sanders and Clinton supporters. One of Putin's goals is to create chaos in our country with the ultimate goal of destroying our democracy. Since we will not change anyone's opinion here, I do not see the point in bashing other Democrats under the guise of "vetting." Vetting for who??

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
