they all goose step together when the go against Republicans.
Rifts? Really stupid teaser for this article. They are called policy differences and they are exactly what should happen during a primary process. Happens every four years. Go check your files.
The circus monkeys will be fighting in no time! Will be a race to see which circus monkey’s campaign promises will be the most ridiculous and stupid.
Too soon for these garbage takes.
Near consensus on single payer in some form, and tax reform...one person tosses out 70% and you claim it's war.
Maybe Socialists is too polite a word for the Democratic Left.. maybe we should recognize this for what it is: Assault on private ownership, that’s not Socalism, it’s Communism.. so the Democratic Left is the Democratic Communist Party.. nice ✊move, NOT
Oh be quiet. The primaries are always 'heating up.' Cut the dramatic language.
No, no they haven't. Stop trying to make people think the Dems are divided. Truth is, they are all so collective in their ideology, they can ride any election cycle in tandem. They have rallied behind Pelosi and understand the challenges they face, united.
Not fallin' for it.
If you really think the rift burst open just right now you heven't been paying attention. This is going on since 2015. And rightly so!
It’s the discrepancy of what is and what could be. I rather have politicians who fix what is than dream up new, mostly unpractical concepts to change the system.
Darn. And no hope for a synthesis in the next 20 months or so, huh?
This is just the beginning. Too many people trying to make a name for themselves.
Ugh, . Why?
Article was predictable (click bait) and reactions (anger) were predictable. I would hope that candidates have differences in policies. I would hope they reside on different locations of the political curve instead of all the same.
Great, a party where debates can actually happen. Sounds really American to me. You media can handle it if you put in a little effort.
Are the candidates supposed to all be the same? How ridiculous. If the party can’t unite behind the winner after the convention, then there’s a problem.
Harris is the new Hitler.
Playing into the Russian hands! Way too many candidates
It’s been so long since there’s been transparency and public discourse in policy making that Politico forgot what it looks like.
Love it when the looney leftists start eating each other .
It’s not liberal and moderates, it’s left wing and right wing, be honest.
The same moderates who lost a layup election with every advantage possible are demanding a do-over with a middled aged black lady subbed in for the elderly white lady they picked last time. Meanwhile they have spent the last two years shifting blame to every other possible person
Stop it. Just like our total “disarray”? This isn’t journalism
I agree and it's ridiculous. The attacks on Kamala because she did her job as a prosecutor are ridiculous. The trying to silence Bernie supporters is ridiculous. We have a common goal here people..you know..defeating Fascism. Can we focus?
Dems in disarray🙄
Lazy, Politico. Unsure of your sloppy rush to release with this “article”...could have waited a couple days for the Gabbard train wreck/“campaign” announcement and had some at least barely-there pieces about division. Bloomberg and Schultz whining about taxes is clumsy.
BULL SHIT!😏🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Blah blah blah Drama! Politico.
The DNC is going to split into Dumb and Dumber.
Politico still referring to Leftists as Liberals in 2019 🧐
SenKamalaHarris needs to walk back talk of eliminating private health insurance. People are fearful of losing benefits so any govt replacement plan will not fly. Focus on Medicare For All but don’t tangle it up with stripping private insurance
That’s proof of free and open debate. Unquestioning obedience is Not American; only for cults and clones
Uhm, but isn't that democracy? Should the base assumption really be that a party has one line and everybody agrees with it?
We will not be divided.
Uh no. It’s called vetting ideas. Winning ideas move forward.
Really? Because I mostly see a healthy policy debate (with the possible minor exception of the vituperative corners of twitter)
We can have debates. It's fine. Maybe let's focus on repealing and replacing the traitors in the Republican party?
And here we go. The media trying to divide the Democratic Party. It’s almost like they have learned nothing from 2016,nothing. Do better
I’d like Harris to not get too chummy with Repug yes-people like Collins.
TheDemocrats don’t have a “moderate” faction; there’s three factions: Crazy, Crazier and Methhead Crazy.
Narrative.
Why the assumption that because sharp differences emerge over policy that we can't unite behind one of them once the candidates get through the primary process? Do you really think that however divided D's may be at the time, they won't pull together when the time comes?
DC press can't help but slag on Democrats.
Eh, not buying this Politico
I guess it's admiring to see y'all work so hard to create division and drama where it doesn't even exist.
You mean we’re getting to decide between candidates who respectfully disagree with each other? The horror.
