Nov 2020

As Meghan Trainor alludes, this election is "all about that base" nt liskddksil Nov 2020 #1

There is a large portion of the base who are not fond of Bernie. redstatebluegirl Nov 2020 #5

Our house losses had numerous factors, having little to do with Bernie liskddksil Nov 2020 #7

And having our candidates be tagged as socialists who want to defund the police. redstatebluegirl Nov 2020 #9

If we had addressed points 1-3 we would have been able to counter that quite easily. As I liskddksil Nov 2020 #14

No it is not...you have to win some moderate voters. I have no idea why Sanders would do this. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #11

Bernie did better with Latinos in the Primary then Biden, and there liskddksil Nov 2020 #17

Sanders and AOC were used in Georgia in campaign ads. Georgia Democrats are Demsrule86 Dec 2020 #51

He should not go to Georgia or talk about it anymore. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #28

If Mr. Ossoff wants him there, he will go and I defer to the candidate's judgement on that nt liskddksil Nov 2020 #30

Bernie most definitely doesn't represent the base. octoberlib Dec 2020 #57

I doubt it will have much impact at all. MineralMan Nov 2020 #6

I agree and disagree (depending). NurseJackie Nov 2020 #35

I hope not many people hear about it awesomerwb1 Nov 2020 #8

Trump and the GA GOP will broadcast it far and wide. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #15

Bernie will be there if Mr. Ossoff want him there and I defer to the candidate's judgement nt liskddksil Nov 2020 #22

Tying Ossoff to Bernie is a dream come true... dubyadiprecession Nov 2020 #23

It could cost us a close election. Why would he do this? Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #31

I wish that Senator Sanders had just stayed out of that race. Blue_true Dec 2020 #53

He did endorse "the other Democrat" mtnsnake Dec 2020 #54

This message was self-deleted by its author mtnsnake Dec 2020 #55

He already endorsed Warnock, so how would it look if he didn't also endorse Ossoff? mtnsnake Dec 2020 #56
