Biden appears at a Romney donor conference; encourages Romney to run for Senate; trashes Clinton again. Interesting 2020 strategy. Ahem. https://t.co/B4TVVbghWZ

.@BernieSanders: "Trump didn't win the election. The Democratic Party lost the election." Says Democratic Party is an "absolute failure."

Wondering if Sanders objected to use of DNC $$ to fly him on private planes across US to bash Dems on "unity" tour. https://t.co/Y88p3QzVRT

NOTED.
I've already addressed this stuff recently: Previously on Biden; previously on Sanders, specifically his garbage assertion that the Democrats lost the election. So I'm not going to go through it all again.
What I will say is this: Both of these white cishet men in their 70s have indicated they want to run for president again in 2020.
That both of them seem to imagine the way to build a winning coalition is to shit all over Hillary Clinton and her supporters is reason number one that neither of them is ready to lead the party.
That goes double for spending your time at Mitt Romney donor conferences (whut) or a "people's summit" in Chicago, while experienced community organizers in that city are publicly wondering WTF after no one bothered to contact them (whut).
This doesn't look like "unity." This looks like a party being shaped by people who don't want me to be a part of it, from every possible direction.
I don't know how to "unify" with people squeezing me out. And frankly, I'm really beginning not to care.
