Populist leftist policies are very popular deep red Missouri just passed a $15 minimum wage + yearly increase based on inflation by ballot measure, by the same margin that Trump won (~58% it takes someone like Bernie Sanders (whos old as hell now) to sell these ideas to the working class Yeah, the issue being it's easy to vote for policy in of itself. The issue with a politician is you attach a person to that, and that's a very different factor. They have to connect with the voters, get the right vibes and a Democrat will support a number of other policies the Missouri voters might not like very much. Bernie has not been tested on a national level and never will be. There is nothing ever showing he can win in red states where he'd say something like trans people deserve human rights and deporting someone who's lived here 20 years without incident is wrong. --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen <cite>LightSnake posted [p:982838330] in Do Dems ne...
