In reply to the discussion: Nina Turner Blasts Audience From Black Women's Forum for Booing Senator's MLK Comments [View all]PatSeg
(47,429 posts)138. I guess I just disagree
with the tactics even though I understand the sentiment involved. Of course, I am offended by the Bernie supporters booing other Democratic leaders and the lack of apology from Bernie. I hate to see a replay of the divisiveness of 2016. I think we can make a conscious effort to be civil with one another.
Meanwhile, republicans just love this sort of thing and trolls/bots will feed the fire.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
