Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)Let's look at the electoral track record of the Bernie coalition [View all]
In 2018, when running in GOP-held districts:
Our Revolution went 027
Justice Democrats went 018
Brand New Congress went 06.
Bernie Sanders not only hurts us in the Presidential election... but candidates that explicitly are with him failed to flip a single House seat in 2018.
We are looking at a Corbyn-style thumping across the board if we are foolish enough to nominate Sanders.
MODERATES flipped 39 of the 41 House seats that we won. We control the House specifically because moderates appealed to suburban whites who turned on the GOP and Trump.
We will keep those voters if we nominate Biden or Klobuchar. We will lose them if we nominate Sanders or Warren.
A Bernie nomination might give the House back to the GOP too. A disaster in the making.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
