I agree, but generally a party will back a sitting president of that party, additionally division of the Democratic party is what caused trump's election in the first place.

I wonder if she's being groomed to be the next candidate. I would like that a lot, but what the Democratic needs right now is unity, because the Republican party is very divided.

She's probably being groomed for House leadership. She has a relatively safe seat and seems willing to put the work in being a good representative. However, to do that, she needs to build the caucuses that she is in.

If the Democratic party needs unity when the Republicans are divided, when exactly would dissent ever be acceptable? Seems like this is just a pitch to always be unified, which in turn means never challenging the party establishment.

The system has been formed that way intentionally. That's one of the huge issues with our election system actually
