Biden, Bernie forces clash during convention meeting

A Democratic Party meeting that leaders hoped would project unity weeks ahead of the national convention instead broke out into a behind-the-scenes feud over corporate money in politics.

At a virtual gathering of a key committee for the Democratic National Convention, Bernie Sanders-allied members said Joe Biden appointees called them “children” and made other rude comments in a breakout room where they were talking privately.

The argument served as a reminder of the tensions that are still simmering below the surface between moderate and progressives as the party seeks a united front against President Donald Trump. It also shows the limited power of Biden and Sanders, whose teams worked closely to hash out a deal on another plan under consideration by the committee with the goal of showing harmony.

“It was not only disturbing, but disrespectful,” said Nina Turner, Sanders’ former campaign co-chair who served on the committee. “Disgusting, disturbing, unacceptable. And it’s no way to restore the faith of the people who already suspect the Democratic Party is unfair.”

Another person at the meeting described it as full of cross-talk between a small number of people in both Biden and Sanders camps that made it difficult to hear the proceedings, and said some people did not know how to use the mute button.

These are the same people who think they should be in power of every aspect of your life.

There’s like ten different groups with interests in the convention. Wouldn’t surprise me if Antifa wanted a speaker at the convention to talk over their views of the path ahead.

This is the do nothing legacy of the democrats.

Just like the argument about school openings;



They can't, won't or don't think beyond their own egos and personal vandetta's to actually accomplish something for the nation they supposedly are elected to serve
