Or it will make it worse. Its not 1976.

I guess we'll see. But pretty much everyone agrees that not undermining the unity of the Democratic party in one of the most divisive elections in American history as facism is knocking at the door, is a good idea.

Highlighting the diversity and love for democracy is better. More authority behavior is not what we need.

It's not more authoritarian behaviour, it's a very standard precedent that people are arbitrarily getting annoyed about this election cycle. Ideally maybe there would be a democratic primary, but the least authoritarian thing to do right now is keep Trump out of office.
