34. Actually, I just don't

count him in. He lost me a while back and I don't think he's grown or expanded his thinking. I hear much of the same demagoguery and he still hasn't figured out how to be a team player. I don't think he's a Democrat or ever intend to be and I'm not interested in helping him shred the biggest, most diverse coalition on the left.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Why you shouldn't count out Bernie Sanders [View all] JoeOtterbein Sep 2019 OP

BREAKING: Sanders has a ceiling and a floor. OilemFirchen Sep 2019 #1

Exactly. His base may be firmer than some other candidates, pnwmom Sep 2019 #2

I think some people confuse their own personal excitement and enthusiasm for a candidate with ehrnst Sep 2019 #10

Considering that he was considered a strong candidate in 2016 by some. LiberalFighter Sep 2019 #17

It all depends if it is a 2 person race Trenzalore Sep 2019 #37

ONLY if the two people are Biden and Sanders. OilemFirchen Sep 2019 #38

Is 15% a ceiling or a floor? crazytown Sep 2019 #3

"pet candidate" jcgoldie Sep 2019 #6

Projection maybe? nt BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #8

So if we support someone other than Sanders it's only a "pet candidate"? That's insulting. George II Sep 2019 #11

Is it as insulting as telling fellow Democrats that voting for Sanders will cause us to lose? Optical.Catalyst Sep 2019 #15

More so. I don't support Sanders and have three or four possible choices, none are "pet candidates". George II Sep 2019 #16

Maybe they were not referring to you? Tiggeroshii Sep 2019 #27

It's not insulting if my analysis (and that of political pros) says the same thing... brooklynite Sep 2019 #19

Your analysis over rules my choice? Optical.Catalyst Sep 2019 #20

Straw man, anyone? ehrnst Sep 2019 #21

Who's denying you a choice? brooklynite Sep 2019 #22

I guess everyone has a right to their own, as you put it, "pet candidate". George II Sep 2019 #24

It is much more insulting to accuse people who support other candidates pnwmom Sep 2019 #23

Absence of evidence makes both statements equally ridiculous. Tiggeroshii Sep 2019 #29

Saying anyone could lose isn't ridiculous. It's logically true. n/t pnwmom Sep 2019 #33

Saying anybody will* lose without evidence, is. Tiggeroshii Sep 2019 #35

Not at all. You're thinking about how the Intercept, Jacobin, Krystal Ball, CommonDreams, & TYT ehrnst Sep 2019 #13

Definitely not a fan of those groups. LiberalFighter Sep 2019 #18
