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'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

- 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
