I don't like Gillibrand but she's trying to make a good point here.

Why does this poll have Michael Bennett and other obvious not-gonna-win chumps and not Sanders or Warren?

What madness that the candidates for the opposition party mark their distinction from the party they oppose.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Pitting Democrats against each other is kind of the point of a debate, though, Booker.

Still, he has a good point. The Democrats shouldn’t be dividing right now as Republicans rally under Trump.
