Rest assured that the paid trolls and bots are contributing to this perception of democrats fighting; the money is being spent to amplify that perception. Those so called “dems” on your feed that just have questions? They are likely paid to push that narrative.

Foreign MAGA trolls impersonate both American MAGAs and Dems. And they do it with Dems to run Divide & Conquer programs on the Democratic party. Though of course some infighting does naturally exist. www.wired.com/story/russia...

I want to point out that misogyny is the most socially accepted form of signalling corruption. Bro's don't come up to a bar and say "hey, are you on the take, like me?" They make a crude joke about vaginas. This is the signalling mechanism.
This is unfair and biased and designed to skew public opinion. A neitral dashboard would include the oil company profits.

Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase likely violated federal anti-money laundering laws by failing to properly screen and report payments from Leon Black to Jeffrey Epstein, and underreporting Epstein’s suspicious activity to the Treasury Department.

The Dallas Morning News and its ideologue editorial writer William Ruggle launched the anti-union "right to work"--meaning "right to work without a labor union"--movement, specifically to aid Christian nationalist Jim Crow antisemites. labornotes.org/blogs/2017/0...
The Racist Origins of Right to Work
As right-to-work laws proliferate, it's worth remembering that they originated as a means to maintain Jim Crow labor relations in the South and to beat back what was seen as a Jewish conspiracy.
