Biden, Sanders, Warren are the only candidates with double-digit support

Many people hate Bernie Sanders personally. Still in the 2016 primary mentality even after their candidate failed to beat Trump.

Thankfully those former hardcore Clinton supporters who resent him for daring to run in a primary make up such a small portion of the Democratic electorate that they’re nearly entirely irrelevant.

I hear most of the hardcore ones are Harris supporters now. 

And I’m guessing most of the casual supporters are behind Biden.

I really hope Sanders or Warren gets the nomination! I'd be fine with either of them winning, but right now I'm stuck on Warren.

Can attest to this mentality being a semi-former Hillbot and former little Kamkam...idk what her stans would be, ignore me 

I genuinely like Warren better and I don't dislike Sanders but being the runner up to the last election's runner up certainly doesn't make me feel very secure with him as the candidate.

Warren is new however and would do just as well as him, if not better. So...Warren2020

What's most important is Trump goes down. Whoever does that is good in my book.

Genuinely baffling to me that anyone would support Warren over Sanders. He’s more progressive, by far, has a stronger record, has more comprehensive policy proposals, beats Trump by much more in every poll, and he didn’t vote to expand Trump’s military budget by nearly a trillion dollars like Warren did. Warren’s base of support is coming from rich, white, college-educated liberals (literally 71% of her voters are white), who are the last people on earth we need to convince to vote in 2020, whereas Sanders’ supporters are mostly POC, working class people, women and young people. If you want someone electable, it’s Sanders. If you want the most progressive candidate, it’s Sanders. Period.

Which is why I keep telling people that these rich white liberals don’t really care much about drastic change. It’s all about defeating Trump. And the worst part is that I see many of them saying #NeverBernie on Twitter. But remember, we’re supposed to vote blue no matter what..

I still hope that Sanders takes the nomination. However, the one we have to fear is Joe Biden. He CANNOT be the nominee. I just don’t understand why anyone would want him facing Trump in 2020.

We are getting to the months where people definitely need to start dropping out. 

Anyone not on the debate stage this week shouldn’t even be in the race right now for starters. 

I largely agree, but Gabbard is sort of an outlier when you compare how people are polling and who made the debate stage. Like, her polling average is higher than Klobuchar's and Castro's, and she's within half a point of O'Rourke. That's not saying much, of course, since none of those candidates are polling well - but because of which polls the DNC decided to count and not count she's left out for pretty much no good reason.

She's not in my top three choices, but she had a pretty good performance at the second debate, met the donor threshold, nearly met the polling threshold (and would have if other well-reputed polls had been counted)... it sort of seems like a kick in the crotch for her not to be on the September stage.

Sanders/Gaga 2020! Sure Win!(jk)

Or 

Sanders/Anyone 2020! (I prefer Tulsi or Warren!)

Hillary supporther here, need to correct you on a few things:

1. We don't resent Bernie for running, just like we don't resent Martin O'Malley or Jim Webb for running. We DO resent his supporters who ate, drank, and breathed anti-Hillary propaganda for 16 months (keep in mind it is a stated and proven FACT that Russia ran a prolonged social media influence campaign that targeted Trump and Sander supporters), made a mess of the convention (a moment that is supposed to demonstrate party unity going into the general election), and pathetically protest-voted for third-party candidates in states where the vote was close. If there is lingering animosity, it is towards that group, not towards Sanders. "Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

2. Hillary supporters do not make up a small portion of the Democratic electorate. Remember, she won the primary fair and square, no matter what The Resistance's talking points would have you believe (remember, influence campaign!). You can't talk about a lack of enthusiasm for Hillary when the bottom line is more people voted for her than for any other candidate in either party. We were the largest voting bloc in 2016 - Hillary got more votes than Bernie OR Trump.

3. This isn't about relitigating the past; but those who forget (or never learned) history are doomed to repeat it. If you simply dismiss people because they disagree with you then you're not talking to them where they are and you will be SURPRISED once again when Sanders does not become our nominee next year. You need to break out of your bubble and actually talk to people who support other candidates.

Ok, given your track record, I am warming up to Liz a bit.   
You have the most left-wing views on this website, so it's like a litmus test. 
Yes, we should stop Bernie at all cost.

Idk what makes you think anyone should listen to you when you are a known right winger here. The fact you are starting to consider Liz, further proves why her becoming the democratic nominee is probably not the best idea. You have Trump to support. Stay in your land.

[MJHolland 12,725]

Don’t we think it’s a little early for actually horse race thread... 

[whocares 2,122]

This idea that leftists have to be more moderate when Republicans have no issue going further right. We’re always the ones asked to fall in line. Always. Tired of the bs.

You’ve obviously never met a person who has had to work with Sanders lol. 

One word: abusive 

Meanwhile, every friend I have that works with Liz speaks the world of her kindness and temperament. 

Voters pick up on these things.

Did you just make up some imaginary person that you supposedly know in order to baselessly accuse Bernie Sanders of abusing his staff (), while simultaneously making the case that we should be voting for a candidate for their "temperament" rather than their records, policy, ideology and electability? 

Yeah, I have you blocked on here for a reason. A total troll.
