I voted for Bernie in the primary but I don't think he would have won the general. He has a passionate base but it's not enough, and there are too many moderate Dems that would probably not be driven to vote for him in the general, and definitely the independents would have stayed home. He would have lost the election and we'd have Trump.
Obama was our best shot in a while at a non-establishment candidate with progressive values and he did some good shit in his first two years but he had to deal with too many moderates in Congress for healthcare, and then a Republican congress stonewalled him the rest of the way.
This country is just not ready for real transformative change in a progressive sense.
That probably 'should' be the standard, but it ain't even close to reality.You can't run for anything above the office of dogcatcher once you've been convicted of a felony.
Single issue polls does not equal general election votes. That's delusional. And 51% of Americans do NOT support single payer, which is what Bernie and Warren were proposing. That number is less than 40%. Americans may want universal healthcare but they don't support Bernie's way to get there. So why would they overwhelmingly elect him as president?According to every bit of polls - that is simply incorrect. The overall majority of Americans support a universal healthcare. That isn't a 51% party thing, it was 70-80% last I checked.
All of the moderates that voted for Obama in 2012 and 2008 - were the ones voting for Trump in 2016. This wouldn't have happened if Bernie was the candidate.
He would have absolutely cleared house and dominated - just like progressive candidates are doing in local elections over and over across the country.
Everything you are relaying back in the quoted post is a lie told to you by your own party in order to continue the status quo.
You seem to have a poor memory. Universal healthcare seemed popular before the ACA compromise.... Spoiler alert, idiotic republicans were brainwashed against it. Do you really not remember that? You seem to be out of touch with reality.According to every bit of polls - that is simply incorrect. The overall majority of Americans support a universal healthcare.

The funny thing is he doesn't ever throw his hat in with progressive or actual ever give a firm stance on anything. He simply attacks ideas and says the status quo sucks without offering up an alternative. He is like a 17 year old 80s punk rocker.Single issue polls does not equal general election votes.

Increasing share of Americans favor a single government program to provide health care coverage
63% of U.S. adults say the government has the responsibility to provide health care coverage for all, up slightly from 59% last year.www.pewresearch.org

There is no dichotomy between the capitalism and "taming mechanism".100% of Americans support wider Airline seats yet why do they have to sit while being squished by their neighbors?
It's time to realize Capitalism isn't the solution.. Capitalism is the problem.
Greed is the problem. Capitalism and government can work harmoniously towards achieving a greater societal good, they’ve accomplished this in many parts of Europe.100% of Americans support wider Airline seats yet why do they have to sit while being squished by their neighbors?

While RealClearPolitics isn't a great site for polls at the most recent comparable time RCP had Sanders as about +4 vs. Trump and Biden at around +6. If Biden had won by two fewer points would he have won the election? Maybe, but very possibly not.According to every bit of polls - that is simply incorrect.

That's so hot thinking of her in prison. Even hotter if they stick Clinton and Pelosi in there as well. DeBlasio could be the warden.Ivanka is going to be far too busy trying to keep her ass out of prison, or trying to get out of prison.
There's a decent case for sending De Blasio to prison but Clinton and Pelosi? Absolutely not.That's so hot thinking of her in prison. Even hotter if they stick Clinton and Pelosi in there as well. DeBlasio could be the warden.
I'm a Bernie leftie tho. Anyone to the right of him is trash.There's a decent case for sending De Blasio to prison but Clinton and Pelosi? Absolutely not.
It's always interesting that conservatives, after investigating Clinton for crimes for years and finding nothing, came away MORE convinced she was a criminal, not less. Just totally irrational.
I also find it interesting that while Bernie himself has no problem with pragmatically compromising to advance his agenda his supporters never learned that from him.I'm a Bernie leftie tho. Anyone to the right of him is trash.
Maybe true, but he hasn't actually advanced his agenda. He's the Ron Paul of the left.I also find it interesting that while Bernie himself has no problem with pragmatically compromising to advance his agenda his supporters never learned that from him.
No, he's different than Ron Paul, maybe because as 1 of 100 instead of 1 of 435 he has to be. For example Sanders had no problem with voting for the ACA even though he thought it wasn't a great plan. I agree that Sanders hasn't been successful in getting the rest of the Democrats to adopt his agenda but he isn't an absolutist.Maybe true, but he hasn't actually advanced his agenda. He's the Ron Paul of the left.
So you and her daddy think she is hot... she really isn't that hot or special.That's so hot thinking of her in prison. Even hotter if they stick Clinton and Pelosi in there as well. DeBlasio could be the warden.

If you have some plausible theory, preferably backed with data, as to why the public would suddenly flock to Sanders en masse when they hadn't at any time in the preceding four years I'm open to hearing it. If it's just some 'this would have happened because I say so' you can just say that too though.

Maybe they could try him in absentia and at least convict him so he cant run again.He's NOT going to prison. The governor of Florida has to okay any and all extraditions and he's a Trump stooge.
Now if Trump is stupid enough to travel for rallies into New York.. then hmm.
desantis can try. IANAL but I think this trumps the governor.Maybe they could try him in absentia and at least convict him so he cant run again.
No, I meant New York courts could try him in absentia, like some third world dictator who wrecks his country and then flees.desantis can try. IANAL but I think this trumps the governor.

The Supreme Court, overruling its existing precedent, reversed, ruling unanimously that the Federal Courts did indeed have the power to enforce a writ of mandamus and that Kentucky v. Dennison was outdated.
Letitia James is smart I am pretty sure she has figured out how to get the COVID-19 accomplice serial killer to
NY to face charges.
