Really? I get that Dems like Bernie. So much so that he might win the nomination. Which scares me. I want to win the general. That’s the issue.
I think Bernie is by far the worst candidate remaining. Which is saying something, because all fo these candidates have electability issues. Pete is gay. That’s still a major issue for many Americans. Especially where we need to win. Warren has likability issues (and reminds many of Hillary). Biden has gaffe issues and is old. His campaign is the worst managed of all. Klobuchar is the best candidate remaining but for whatever reason isn’t gaining support.
I think he turns off nearly every coalition voter we won in 2018. Women, suburbs, minorities, etc. He does well with the die hard leftists with Che posters in the dorms. But I see him as being the least electable candidate out there. Especially when you consider the demographics of the midwestern swing states that we need to win.
You think white working class men and suburban women are going to vote for a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist with Fox News and Trump attacking him nonstop? From his recent heart attack to his past comments about Venezuela and Cuba to the label of socialism? Just sooooo unelectable.
I understand Pete's father is the leading proponent of Gramscian Progressive (Marxist) philosophy, which essentially boils down to "Lie like hell to the stupid people and make them communists before telling them that's what it is...... and then ship them all off to the extermination camps before we have to keep feeding them when all the marbles in our bag."
A real humanitarian, really. Just the kind of man Thriller wants to be, when he grows up.
All the other Dem candidates are just trying to corner some little niche in the general plan, with one damn lie or another.
