    Watching Bernie roll through the primaries gives me the same sinking feeling, the same combo of dread and despair, I felt watching Trump 4 years ago. This is actually worse, because in 2016 I naively imagined Hillary, a sane centrist, would save us.https://wapo.st/3c6f4X2

        What did you feel when Mitch was refusing to allow Merrick Garland a hearing on his nomination?

        I guess you forgot all the ratfucking your GOP has been going on with for years? Can't beat someone when someone's thumb is down on the scales of democracy. But do recite the ways it was Hillary's fault.

        We need to talk a/b other side of this too: vote for Bernie, elect Bernie, what next? Think Rs are going to lay down & surrender to socialism? No, they’re going to fight harder than Tea Party, harder than Trump, may even start Civil War. Whatever they do it’s going to be ugly.

        We just lived through all this in the UK. Spoiler: it doesn't turn out well.

        What about Mexico, which just elected a social democratic President in 2018?

        My feelings on Senator Sanders aside, the electoral college rejected the sane centrist and instead went with America's Worst Person™. Now said person is polling at a 90% approval amongst Republicans. Our whole politics is broken, and I fear that there's no fixing it.

        That’s the point. Not all dems will get on board. Many from competitive states like NC, FL & VA will have a problem with his “socialist” label. And I’m afraid he loses independents. I will vote for him if he’s the nominee but I still think our chances are better with Biden.
