Yes as long as they pick someone that appeals to independents. That is literally all they need to do. 2020 is being handed to the Democrats but they have to be smart. You can't run Warren. You can't run Sanders.
You need a Biden. A Buttiegieg. Hell, even Bloomberg has a better chance than the far left ones simply because he appeals to a broader voter base. I know that will illicit laughs from many on here but I'm telling you....dudes on here don't understand politics like they think they do. Folks get into these echo chambers and think they know something. It's not just the folks in your back yard that are headed to the polls. And you need mass appeal.
You need Democrats. You need Independents. And you need Republicans. Yes! There are Republican voters out there that will rock with the right Democrat candidate because they are tired of trump! They aren't in large numbers but they are out there! Politics is way more complicated than dudes on here make it out to be. You need mass appeal. Need!
Obama is telling the Democrats to get the hell away from this far left shyt for a reason.
Sanders consistently polls well with independents. Him technically not being a Democrat helps in a general election scenario.
Sanders is beating Trump in just about every poll released. Why do we believe Biden is the only one when he’s running the laziest campaign we’ve ever seen? Buttigeg? Get out of here.
Sanders has the biggest volunteer base, the most donors and donations and has raised more money than any other campaign. He’s actually set history of garnering this support this early in a campaign. Obama didn’t have the amount of individual donors Bernie has right now until Feb-March 2008 and Bernie himself didn’t reach these levels until early 2016 after IA and NH.
To say Bernie can’t win a general election is straight up bullshid when all of the data and evidence shows he has the tools to win.
Obama was a black man who was called a terrorist (terrorist fist bump!) and a socialist in 2008.
