In reply to the discussion: Should I act surprised when Our Revolution endorsees endorse Bernie Sanders? [View all]AlexSFCA
(6,319 posts)I am always amazed how much support Bernie gets from blue collar workers in swing states (of all ages) and majority of folks under 30 love Bernie. He is not my preferred candidate but if he gets the nomination Ill support his campaign in any way I can 100%. He seems to connect to those who dont usually vote so expanding dem electorate. Ive come to realization that Bernie had enormous influence on democratic party positions, I feel like he sets the conversation now in every debate and, unfortunately, I am not seeing that tireless energy from Joe.
Bernie tapped into the single most important issue of our time - universal health care with no excuses. Full stop. Very powerful argument, and everyone other dem sounds like a typical politician trying to fight against it, not able to have clear and concise message against it.
Interesting thing is, I think election of trump made Bernies victory far more likely, the country seems to be ready for the revolution and end of incrementalism. Revolution means - dramatic expansion of dem house and senate majoriy enabling reshaping of SC with many more justices that will help transition the worlds largest capitalist country into democratic socialist regime.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
