Primaries and caucuses often do have than internecine quality about them - civil war before the war. It takes care of some of the opposition research work for the other side in the general election.

Thanks for this. Things have gotten to the point where I'm almost afraid to admit that I'm still a Hillary supporter (and before anyone says anything, I made this decision after a LOT of thought, I have my reasons, and I honestly don't want to argue about it). I have nothing against Bernie, I actually agree with him about a lot of things, but I have to be true to my own convictions, and I am sticking with Hill for now. And that one graphic honestly seems not only harsh but factually distorted to me.

I honestly don't see why it's necessary for either side to resort to that sort of thing. From what I can see, both candidates share a lot of the same values and goals; the differences are less about where we want to go than about how to get there. Especially when you compare either of them to any of the GOP crazies. I would therefore very much rather save the mudslinging and slurs for whichever of those crazies ends up going up against either Hillary or Bernie later this year.

The difference, to me, isn't "where we want to go" or, really, "how to get there", the difference to me is:

How far do they want to go?

It does overlap with the other question, if you wanted to mix words, but to me it's a "how far" thing.

They both wanna work on the same issues, Bernie just seems to be aiming at a higher mark in the same path.

Raise min-wage to 12? no, 15!

Regulate too big to fail? no, break em up!

Improve Obamacare? no, medicare for all!

Would I accept the first option? Sure. I think the second goes further in the same way, going to the same place, in similar ways.

Not to try and argue when you said you don't wanna argue; just sharing my thoughts.

If that first picture mattered as much as the picture maker wants you to believe it matters, Bernie wouldn't have tied in Iowa. He would have had a landslide victory.

That Bernie rally had thousands and the Clinton rally had a few hundreds.
