Once again trying to show how Democrats aren't all getting along.
That's exactly right. It's trying to stoke resentment and distrust.
It's a collection of anecdotes, random quotes and lots of subjective opinion....

It's a swipe at me. I've made no secret about the fact that I live in mobile home.

The convention's purpose isn't to convince people to vote for Biden, it's to generate enthusiasm

Sanders is going to speak. Isn't HE the spokesperson of "progressive young America"?
