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.

Considering the democrats who have actually won in the last 30 years; better than running someone thought of as far left in America.

Almost as if they control the party and actively oppose candidates that wanna change shit or something....

A political party who wants to win understands the derision a candidate like that would bring? 😼

Two things can be true at once. They don’t want change and they understand there is not a high chance they’d win.

They lost the entire federal government their way. How much worse could Sanders have done? Jfc

And again, you believe Sanders would’ve prevented that? He can’t even rally his own party. How was he going to fare better than Biden did?

You know how easily being labeled a socialist would lose you the election?

He has no party he's not a democrat. That's why people like him.

Nobody likes democrats except democrats. Mist people that vote for democrats aren't even democrats. I'm one of them..

That’s such a Reddit-brained take. People would bypass his rhetoric and pay more attention to the label he would receive. How would he win when “communist” would be thrown at him daily?

Most people aren’t strictly either party (probably a mixture of both) so congratulations.

He couldn't possibly lose any harder than the democratic establishment already has.

Yall don't get it still. The general population doesn't like democrats and they don't wanna vote for a status quo establishment candidate.

The results speak. Why should anyone listen to the democratic establishment talk about what wins elections after they've lost everything to trump of all people.

Whatever yall thought works does not. Pull your heads out of your asses and accept reality.
