Bernie Bros didn't stay home for Hillary. So... why would they now, when they know what Trump actually brings?Halifax2TheMax said:If Bernie is the nominee, it’s Rayguns and Carter all over.

Ummm...what a weird question cause I'm talking 1 specific issue. For comparison, I think you are generally wrong about a lot of things but that doesn't mean you won't be right at some point.ecdanc said:cincybearcat said:When you vote for Sanders, keep in mind, this is who trumpers want you to vote for.
Do you think Trump supporters are generally right about things?
They are going to paint Sanders as a socialist. This is not Canada. This is not Europe. They are extremely confident in their strategy
To make it even worse for Democrats, as been pointed out plenty, sanders is not even a Democrat, so he will even lose some votes from his own "party." November is a train wreck waiting to happen.
Trump was an outsider but he was smart enough to know to go all in with what the insiders wanted in order to win
The only way dems win in this country is to have a young charismatic candidate
Pete is really good but about five years too young and 15 years until america is ready for President Pete. We can be a strange country. Good for IA dems for putting him in top 2.
It's a bit of an accomplishment by Bernie to have Pete called a centrist.
Not too long ago "Medicare for all who want it" would have been considered an extreme policy.
Do you have a president or major party nominee that insisted on that policy? I'm not allowing obama because he caved on it ;-)0 -
This would be true. Bernie could be the worst candidate ever if he does in fact win the dem nominee. Who you rooting for these days halifax? Going Biden?Halifax2TheMax said:If Bernie is the nominee, it’s Rayguns and Carter all over. If Bernie isn’t the nominee, the Bernie bro’s stay home and stamp their feet and pout.

Pandering to their base by blaming the ills on a boogeyman? Yup.ecdanc said:

Nope. Just bernie and trump have a similar method and their supporters also have similar methods.ecdanc said:

They are insane complainers about the media and fake news. Where have I seen this before?pjl44 said:
Buttigieg was up 1.8% at the initial release. It was neck and neck then, it's neck and neck now. Some of these Bernie people need to go for a brisk walk or something.ecdanc said:
They never accept the results of an election unless they win...hmmmm.....
Look - we aren't going to agree on this. And I'm not saying Bernie is as bad a person as trump. Just that their campaigns seem to use a similar playbook and cause their supporters to behave in a similar manner (questioning the media, questioning vote results, talking of deep state conspiracies against their candidate, etc).
So, as someone who is not really a democrat by choice, I am very concerned about his nomination.hippiemom = goodness0 -

The only way dems win in this country is to have a young charismatic candidate
Also, regarding socialism - here is your young candidates take on that:
Of course I agree with that but you know what it's like here? I'm in one of the bluest states (I wish I can get my phone to autosave that sentence!) And it's pretty bad even by me. Imagine what its like in the swing states. How much Fox News do you watch? Hint, its THE most popular cable channel here.
And when people are all "this is what america want and all they can take" you end up with Gore, Kerry, Hillary.
Have a bit of faith and do the right thing, and:
The huge difference is that demographic IS the democratic base.
Obama got the base out in record numbers for obvious reasons, and left leaning moderates and conservatives with his intelligence and charisma. He is a once in a generation politician.
Pete is not intelligent nor charismatic? I'm impressed every time I see him interviewed.
The base needs time to warm up to candidates. They want to know you and think you can win. They also need to have their right to vote protected to matter in the general.
Pete's sweet spot is 2028 to 2040.0 -
I would guess in polls he is still very revered. He left office with record high approval numbers, didn't he?Lerxst1992 said:mcgruff10 said:

Yes. He was a revered politician until he got a little too frisky at the workplace and his wife got too involved in his line of work.
He is also a vegan. So he is on the right side of history in more aspects than loving the sound of a sax."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
He might need to poll higher than 1% amongst black voters.Lerxst1992 said:ecdanc said:

GIFs in 2018 are no longer just a collection of simple images, as they were back in 1995. Often, animated GIFs are clips ripped from TV and movies—basically, video saved in the wrong format. Unlike actual, video formats, GIFs don't use any kind of video encoding or compression techniques.

Pete's sweet spot is 2028 to 2040.
Hillary was well known and it gave people zero excitement. Didn't Gore and Kerry feel very much "dragged out from the Establishment because they had put enough hours in to get the chancet"
Obama was new and fresh. Bill Clinton, wasn't he an unknown commodity before he melted women's hearts by feeling their pain? George W Bush was ofcourse known, but he came in with a lot of energy, gaffs and lies about McCain having a black child Etc.
I think that will be a problem with Biden - it would be a Hillary situation. Not new. Not fresh. Not that unknown hope of big things a head. People liked him as Obamas dadjoke-friend. Without Obama, he's just "oh wait, one of those politicians". I can't see people being fired up at rallys with him behind the podium, people would come hoping for a good guest artist to show up.
So in that regard, I think Pete winning now is possible because fresh = energy = momentum . And in 2040 is way past his sweetspoint.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0
