[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a different PP. I don't think Bernie or Warren are electable. Bernie and his supporters will turn off a lot of the electorate. Warren doesn't really resonate with people and she seems really to prioritize New England (I am in California and I've heard multiple people here talk about how she doesn't know or care about the West, for instance, and I suspect the same is true in the Midwest). Biden has enormous baggage.

The problem is that Democrats need a lot of voter turnout in battleground states to win. And I don't see a single Democratic candidate that is inspiring enough to win that turnout.

It gets me really depressed.[/quote]

Assuming you are being sincere - I think don't lose this race before we're even in it.

Republicans are weak. They have an incredibly weak candidate who seems to be running on a culture war platform because he doesn't really have anything else; his presidency has been a great circus and otherwise a great failure. Democrats won in 2018 by focusing on what we can do for people - how we can help them.

I think we actually have a pretty good chance in 2020. 2016 still looms large, and I think it's making many of us look for all the reasons we're going to lose again. But these racist rallies Trump has been holding are actually giving me quite a bit of hope that we could win. He's not campaigning on any kind of record - he's not drawing in anyone new. This is not the moment he's going to start acting presidential. He's going bigger, more extreme - and I really do think that a Democrat who can offer hope, and offer a real platform of how we will give people things they need, stands a great chance. [/quote]

When 20k+ people show up at Trump rallies where ever he goes, I would hardly describe Rs as “weak.”  Nice try though [/quote]

His base loves him. He only holds rallies in places where he's got that many people ready to come to his rallies.

He is historically unpopular outside of his rabid base (no offense to rabies).
