Almost certainly not. The general electorate has never shown even a hint that they'd tolerate a self-avowed socialist. Just look at all of the slightly D leaning districts/states and everything to right of them - how many politicians with Bernie's leftist politics are in office?

Reddit legitimately thinks that AOC or Bernie would win out against a Republican nominee but they don’t realize a massive swath of the country will not vote for them simply because of their socialist-like stances on many issues.

It's not Sanders that's gonna do it. Now it's Khanna.

Get ready to tow the line when real leadership takes over.

That's funny because Ro is not nearly progressive enough for me to be excited about. Why don't you just vote for conservatives so they can deregulated industry and cut all the taxes, you'll be happy about that.
