Cenk Uyger does not believe Warren, thinks she "misinterpreted" Sander's comments. Blames CNN for Democratic infighting. -
So yes, the Left is very disunited in this country. To think otherwise is to deny reality.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
You get it. I wish more people did. The left is too idealistic, and that leads to it fracturing and respecting the opposition to play by the rules, which they plainly do not. The right is openly, blatantly cheating on EVERY possible front, as well as betraying every progressive ideal that America was supposedly founded on, but Warren erroneously claimed she had Native American blood (a common myth MANY families told during the resurgence of New Age beliefs in the late 60s/early 70s among young white people trying to feel less like the historic oppressors we have been) is a dealbreaker to some. Donald Trump brags about sexual assault, but Bernie hasn't been to a Pride parade, so that's a dealbreaker to some. Mitch McConnell gloated about obstructing the proper functions of government during the Obama administration, but Pete Buttigeig had a fund raiser in a wine cave, so that invalidates him.
And so on, and so on. The old saw that "The Left falls in love, while the Right fall in line," is so clearly, painfully illustrated as true, right here on these boards daily. Look at how the likes of Mets, an otherwise intelligent, well-spoken man, makes excuse after excuse for the daily Right Wing horrorshow to see how well the Right falls in line, reality be damned. And look no further than the various factions of leftist who proudly and fervently support their guy (or gal) over all the rest to the point of protest voting, not voting at all, or voting for the Right Wing just to stick a finger in the eye of the 'so-called' leftists who didn't support the One True Leftist Candidate (whoever that is).
Edit: As I continued reading, I'm glad to see that we are agreeing to put some of the fanaticism aside, and that's good. Less attacking the 'heretics' who don't support The One True Leftist (whoever that is to you), more focusing on defeating the ACTUAL threat currently running the nation into the ground (and those who defend and excuse him...) is a good thing.

Last nights debate convinced me Trump would win. Democrats are more divided than ever and didn’t learn a thing over the last 4 years. So stupid.
I would say Biden is the best hope, however, I highly suspect many "Progressives" will sit this one out, or vote for a third candidate if Sanders or Warren isn't the nominee. By way of contrast, you can bet the Right will vote for Trump no matter what. This is my fear and why I think Trump will likely win unless something changes.

How brilliant was it by Pelosi to drag things out. This Parnas stuff... man. Smoking guns all around.
Perhaps pass isn't the right word. I don't think that particular issue has been as scrutinized and weaponized against her by the left as it would be against Bernie or Biden or even Klobuchar.
I think her status as a bonafide liberal (read: not a moderate or centrist) shields her from what would otherwise be a more steady attack from the left on that issue.

I don't know that I would make that assumption.
While I've said this before, I don't think that the entirety of Sanders' supporters are bound to wind up voting for someone like Biden. Never mind that you have a situation where the way the Party put the debate rules together knocked every minority candidate out of the debates by January.

This is why WBE never runs out of materials
Twitter LinkSusan Collins throws cold water on new Lev Parnas evidence. “I wonder why the House did not put that into the record and it’s only now being revealed.” Told it was just turned over, she says: “well doesn’t that suggest that the House did an incomplete job then?”
