Maybe we should wait for the debates, since they have not even had any yet. Warren has been gaining support while Bernie has been losing it.

The Democrat Party, what's left of it, is a broken party.

Crazed loons & walking cadavers. Bernie is a former porn writer & Soviet, Biden a former segregationist who has absolutely nothing to show for 5 decades of politics.

Good points. The election was close!

It will be interesting to see if the perception that Trump is going to win big again holds true, or if the Trump side is shocked and his Presidency ends, and upended completely.

I suppose the key is turnout. However, which candidate will be the front runner? I think Biden has it locked down--if the primary were held this month.

But, there is plenty of time for the Democrats to plead their case, however, I have not heard one that is appealing to me so far--I vote independently--so we will see.

Well, most of those middle folk (like myself) generally don't *like* Trump. But we didn't like him in 2016 either. (I voted 3rd party in protest to the pair of horrible candidates as I live in a state that went like 60% for Trump so it didn't matter then or in 2020 either, although I did help elect Charise Davids to congress.)

Best advice I can give is to stop attacking voter demographics that occupy that middle segment.

Trump definitely angers certain voting blocks but they're small and typically already democrats.

My Republican/conservative friends said the same thing of the Republican party when Obama won the second term.

Republicans would never win again - -blah blah blah.......

The sheer irony of you of all people causing someone a “crazed loon” is clear to anyone who regularly reads your posts. The attached posts from Zero Hedge just drives the point home.

Judaism is a religion, not a race. Mr. Bernie Sanders is of Russia and Polish background. If that isn't "white" kindly tell me what is he supposed to be? African?

Bernie is an Ashkenazi Jew, which isn't the same thing as being ethnically Russian or Polish. Ashkenazi Jews have been subjected to discrimination and worse for centuries.
