If you think that everyone that dislikes Trump is going to vote for Bernie that’s simply not true. -- nm - spamlet Feb 11, 10:01 13
- It’s def not but that’s not my point -- nm - JackDawson Feb 11, 10:33
- The point, I think, of nominating someone like Bernie would be to acknowledge the reality that the voter pool is not a zero sum game. - znufrii, human scum Feb 11, 10:08
- My feeling is, if in the face of Trump, someone needs to be motivated by the Dems nominee to vote against Trump, fuck em. They aren't - TWuG Feb 11, 10:06
- I have severe worries about Bernie's electability but I do think (in highly oversimplified terms) that - ty97 Feb 11, 10:05 9
  - I'm not convinced he's the best choice, but he has *double digit* positive approval ratings among Americans. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 10:29
  - All Bernie has to do is flip Pennsylvania Michigan Wisconsin -- (edited) - eag Feb 11, 10:10 5
    - I doubt he can hold Minn given its demographics— it’s not that simple -- nm - JackDawson Feb 11, 10:33
    - He won the primaries in MI and WI yes, but that's not the same as winning a general. - ty97 Feb 11, 10:14 3
      - I think just like in 2016 when we underestimated Trumps base - eag Feb 11, 10:20 2
        
        He has an impressive and impassioned base, no question about that. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 10:22 1
        
        In a year where you dont have Hillary who was verry polarizing and unlikable and you have more likable choices - eag Feb 11, 10:37
  - Right. You’re betting on a group that doesn’t historically vote coming out and voting while ignoring a group that historically votes. -- nm - spamlet Feb 11, 10:08 1
    - I think that oversimplifies it too. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 10:10
