      Tom Watson Retweeted Political Polls

      Sanders is really leading a separatist movement aimed at breaking up the Democratic Party. Like many things with Bernie, he won't say it directly any more (because "pol") but his supporters say it all the time. This is why Warren is the obvious choice for actual progressives.https://twitter.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1220556627650269185 …

      The more rational way of reading this data is that Sanders has an ability to attract supporters who would otherwise not vote Democrat. So if you want to win against the @GOP and Trump, Sanders is the candidate to do it. @EdwardGLuce @ZephyrTeachout @hollyotterbein @HeerJeet

      That is the more rational way to look at it but for some reason certain Democrats (thankfully not all) don't like the idea of appealing to new voters and expanding the voting base.

          So, would a Glenn Beck Bernie endorsement be promoted and made into a campaign ad? New voters, right?

          If it didn't require Bernie to change any of his views or positions why would it be bad? If Bernie wins new people to the cause by the strength of his arguments and character, how is that bad?

          the Democratic Party as a private club that would never reach out to "deplorables." Hate it. No belief in persuasion.

          The very Dems who don't want to appeal to these voters and expand base are the ones that accuse Sanders of running a closed, ideologically rigid "cult." Completely inconsistent.

          Last week you were defending @aoc when she stated the tent was too big and she and Biden shouldn't be in the same party. At least try to be a little intellectually consistent.

          .@AOC didn't say that. She was observing the unusual nature of US democracy in this respect. And as @EdwardGLuce and others pointed out she was correct. AOC is wonderful at reaching out beyond graditional Democratic voters.
