My oversight black,,Muslim

"who wouldn't vote for a black wouldn't have voted for Joe Biden either" validate that opinion

"dissatisfaction"=majority of Americans, do you agree?

Why does Democratic Socialist" have a negative connotation? To you is it socialist= Russia=communist and why do you always leave off the word DEMOCRATIC when using socialism. Bernie repeatedly uses Democratic socialism.

If your defining and educating the uninformed public, are you still losing? "Educate some" could that be millions of swing voters too?

Did the 2014 midterms show Millennials have great value on deciding elections.Remind of the youth vote for the Obama elections.

Are you saying dem socialism principles are good for the country but terrible for Bernie? Will the corp media be lovey-dovey with everyone except Bernie? "Preconceptions that millions of people already have" please validate that or start using "in my opinion'.

Then socialist= dangerous radical unless his policies are heard. Name any candidate that could win without their policies being heard

I'm happy you voted your conscience with Kucinich but your posts are theoretical and unsubstantiated. Anyone can win, and no one can prove the future.
