YOU may be "far left', but the country is not. #1 should be winning. oldsoftie Feb 2020 #11

So win already NCcoast Feb 2020 #14

11/20. Thats why i'm committed to backing the ones who have the best chance. oldsoftie Feb 2020 #15

We did win in 2018. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #16

To all but his supporters, Bernie has very little to recommend him. Squinch Feb 2020 #26

Blue no matter who. Gore1FL Feb 2020 #46

Yes. That's you and me. It isnt the entire electorate. And the Squinch Feb 2020 #49

Do you have polls that support the assertion? Gore1FL Feb 2020 #53

Its not Democrats you have to worry about. Its the REST of the voters. oldsoftie Feb 2020 #29

The assumption the rest of the voters are moderate is incorrect. Gore1FL Feb 2020 #43
