Dems just flipped a house seat in Missouri with a notably progressive candidate. I'm happy libertarian Nick Freitas walloped Spanberger in VA. Good call on that one! Spanberger currently leads with one batch of absentee ballots remaining by 1.2. Thank God, I had never heard of Nick Freitas but I presume he’s the fuckstick who has bombarded me with Spanberger hate ads for a fucking month, the dumb shitty prick. I WANT TO REWATCH JIMQUISITIONS IN PEACE THANKS. Yeah I voted for her but I became very tried of the Spanberger "I worked for the CIA and will fight tax raises on craft beer brewers" commercials lol
There were Spanberger ads that weren’t exclusively, “she makes time for her LIBRUL donors!” And “Hi, I’m the guy who voices the Spanberger attack ads, and she wants you to hear MORE of these!”
That last one seemed particularly idiotic to me, too...

So another question for you all. In another world where Bernie won the primary do you see him improving this map at all. If I am going to be honest I think he loses. I dont think the berne bros pull him over the blue wall.
I think it’s quite possible he does indeed lose here.
It seems to me, possibly inaccurately that areas where Bernie and Trump played well in 2016 have perhaps been solidified by Trump’s first term in his camp.
One of the more learned denizens of this thread will probably eviscerate this notion, feels to me the zone of convergence in the Venn diagram of their respective support bases was more in play in 2016 than now.

I dont think the berne bros pull him over the blue wall. Problem with Bernie is that he would get railed on by Trump for being socialist/communist, and for sure the northern blue wall is still moderate dems that would not want someone like a Bernie. With how close the north states are, I think Trump would repeat and even flip Nevada.
Theoretically moderate Republicans don’t want Trump though, but they show up for him. There’s just a large contingent of voters that are going to stick in their party lane, and I doubt Bernie would suddenly flip all those people into Republicans.

Sanders polled better against Trump, better with independents, better with Republicans, about even with Democrats, and better on all of the issues during the Democratic primary. Biden repeated from day one that he was the only one who could defeat Trump and, surprise surprise, the only thing Biden polled better in was the question "Who do you think has a better chance at beating Trump?" and that, plus all of the moderate candidates folding and backing Biden and Warren staying in, was enough for most Dems to vote Biden on Super Tuesday and railroad a Biden nomination. The narrative that Biden was the best shot for the Dems to win is, based on the data, entirely fabricated.

Not sure how those polls would translate to real results tbh. I think these national polls would be really good in blue states for Bernie but not for swing state.

He did better in most of these categories in state polls too.

Sanders is an appealingly genuine person. He comes off as someone who gives a shit about the working class, I genuinely think he would have stood a strong chance. He’s got good campaign energy.
I’m sad we likely won’t see anything more out of him, he’s a beacon of integrity rarely seen in american politics. Now we’re getting more Qanon people.
Sigh...

One thing that makes it hard to quantify when it comes to Bernie vs Biden's chances is that if it was Bernie the media would have gone somewhat softer on Trump, still hostile but not as committed, instead of criticizing him all the time (as he deserves).
I don't know how that works in terms of votes.

As someone who didn’t vote for Trump in this election, I would have voted for him over Bernie without hesitation. I vehemently disagree with his policies to solve problems with massive taxes and give things for free. At least with Biden, I see him taking his time approaching far left policy decisions or best case scenario being a lame duck president.

This is true. The media would not have been as favorable for a Bernie nominee.

I think AOC has a lot of the genuineness and sharpness of Sanders. Hopefully we will see more leaders of their kind. Can't help but think there are many out there in this giant and wealthy country of ours.

I agree but when are we ever getting to that goal of providing necessary rights to people? It's honestly tiring to see politicians just put on a mask and deliver nothing every year while income gap grows and people are on brink of becoming homeless due to insane COL. Like is it too much asking for a 1 bedroom apartment for $500 rent? is it too much asking for a basic health care without having to worry about paying half of my salary for some emergency? When are we ever going to tackle climate change? Are we going to continue like this and just die?

Yeah, my family and I probably all would've voted Trump (I would vote jojo) if it was Trump v. Bernie. I suspect there are more people like me and Bisudagger than those that would vote Republican in this election vs switching to Bernie in a hypothetical.

Just to avoid the destruction of real civic terms, lame duck means something very specific (it's the time period between when you've lost an election and your replacement gets in). It's just been coopted recently to mean "time when it's difficult to pass policies" in an attempt to make contentious attitudes more palatable to the masses by using official sounding terms.
(witness Trump talking about "disenfranchisement" earlier today)
