The "progressives" aren't a reliable voting block. Women, minorities and the working class are more reliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a wild card we don't know about yet. Biden would be a better choice than Bernie, and put Kamala as VP. That ticket would cover a lot of bases!

I saw a CNN poll that asked people who’d they vote for if today was election day and Biden was the one who beat Trump by the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo 4,414 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Trump needs to go long before 2020. I'm still optimistic on that. Dunno who the Republicans might be running then. I love Bernie but I'm not sure I want this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 28,974 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 My honest opinion is that it wouldn't work out. Like may already pointed out, he is way too far left for American politics, and as OP mentioned in another post, we need someone who can appeal to the poor-to middle class white voters who either gravitated to Trump, or didn't vote at all. I don't see them connecting with him on that level, and I fear we'd be in a similar situation as in Fall 2016. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adakam 2 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Id prefer Biden tbh, but even then, and idc if someone calls me ageist, but can we stop electing dinosaurs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenusUrania 675 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'd still prefer Elizabeth Warren to run for president. She's a much better candidate than Bernie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will laugh if the dem’s next poster child is Harris or Booker. “Too far left” *most policy stances reflect that of Canada and other major industrialized nations* Ok He is far left in American politic spectrum. You can't really compare it to other countries. US has always been on the right and your whole economy revolves around it. In my country Bernie would be consider center/center-right and his policies would be more relevant. But for the US I think it's not realistic yet, it would be too sudden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I give them about 30% of the blame 60% is for the lies, misinformation, fake scandals, etc. 5% because she's a she. The final 5% is her own fault for not paying attention to important states and not handling the fake scandals well I also just don't think Bernie would be effective. Definitely leagues better than Trump, that's not even up for debate, but yeah. I'd much rather a left-of-center person got in over an almost radical left. I'm still hoping Hillary runs again she deserves to win and I absolutely adore everything she stood for in 2016. Her plans for the energy sector alone and a REAL plan for free higher education and a single payer healthcare system Actually, Clinton/Sanders would be my dream ticket for 2020. Hillary Clinton wasn't for a single payer system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born To Slay 10,996 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Anyway, thank god. I will definitely support him if he runs. He's what our country will need after four years of a radical right wing president and he will push the hardest for progressive policies. If he doesn't end up running, I'll vote for Warren. They're the only two that make me excited but I will be vote for whoever the Dems end up putting up (unless it's someone as conservative as Joe Manchin, that will just piss me off).

She really was...as far back as the early nineties, when she settled on CHIP because that's all that they could get through. Hillary was realistic enough to know that continuing Obamacare was of utmost importance at this current time. She also knew that too much, too soon, causes backlash and sends the political trends in the other way. Progress is slow and something as complicated as the healthcare system is going to take decades to reform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
