The democratic presidential race is essin­ tially down to two candidates now: former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen­ ator Bernie Sanders. And democrats, partic­ ularly those on Twitter, are split on opin­ ion. Sanders has a very devout following and his supporters, especially those on Twitter, will defend him like an army on all matters. There is nothing wrong with supporting a candidate and of course nothing wrong with debating other people about candi­ dates, that's what politics is. What people need to keep in mind however is that it is O.K. for people to like a candidate that you do not. But in the United States right now, people are getting very contentious on so­ cial media toward one another. The debates taking place have gone be­ yond policy or ideas and instead are starting to get very personal.
