Yep. Not saying there hasn't been a leftist movement before Bernie, but I'll give him props where they're due. He changed the popular conversation and moved the mainstream politics of the Democratic party to the left. It's not enough, but it's something.

Trump will beat Bernie.

He and Biden have name recognition but ultimately they’re tired old af white faces and incredibly uninspiring

Minorities did NOT vote for Sanders in 2016 even though they had every reason to hate white supremacist mandatory minimum super predator Clinton

I'm hoping it'll be Trump vs Yang so I can have an excuse to vote against Trump. Otherwise I'll be abstaining.

Isn’t Yang just a messenger for an idea though.

Something like UBI would start with a house resolution, wouldn’t it?

in the exact states Democrats need to win Bernie fever is the highest

The gut voters who voted for Obama and Trump for basically apolitical reasons won’t vote for an old white Jew. No it factor.

Bogeyman math. Go ask someone wearing a cowboy hat how they feel about socialism.

Word

Yang phrases the question in a much more appealing manner.

Ask someone in a cowboy hat if they want a $1000.
