Argument for Bernie Sanders [View all]

Maybe its just cause of all the negative talk against Bernie I think we need a pro Bernie argument


One of the biggest arguments against Bernie is he will not pull in the moderate voters & moderate voters that voted for Trump


Did anyone stop and think that if a Bloomberg would win the nomination or even a Biden that while those 2 might pick up more moderate votes and some moderate Republican votes that those 2 could also lose a lot of Bernie supporters and far left leaning supporters. People could stay home.

Having Bernie as the nominee will also generate more young voters. I promise you that if Biden or Bloomberg get the nomination there we be less young voters.

The people that we gain with a Bloomberg could just as be easy to lose same number of people

In the latest general election poll on MSNBC, Bloomberg was beating Trump 51-42 and Bernie was beating Trump 51-42. Those two had the best numbers head to head against Trump.

That 52% is not the same people they are pulling from. There is more than one way to build a path to beating Trump.

Just getting the turnout up in Wisc, Mich, PA and we beat trump. He won those 3 states combined by less than 70,000 votes.

All this talk that Bernie can not win is just chatter. Maybe its a little harder or close. Does not mean Bernie can not win. And I know this much. As a far left leaning person. I rather have Bernie in office than Biden or Bloomberg.

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