If you detest his policies, why support making him one step closer to Oval Office?

Support the nomination of the one who would be least damaging if elected

Don’t play with fire

Go Amy Klobuchar and to a lesser extent joe b

Agreed

It's not worth the risk just because it might be an easier path for Trump

Benrie will win 4 to 5 states max. He will set the Democrats back 20 years. The Republicans will sweep all the down ticket spots.

Bernie winning the nomination guarantees the House swings back to the GOP.

The only way any of those fricks get close the the Oval office is if Trump invites them for lunch. You have a better chance of becoming president compared to any of those psychotic fricks.

worst case scenario:

trump loses, bernie wins

bernie still tanks democrats down ballet, and would not be able to accomplish any of his bullshite policies. then he'll die after 4 years or so.

This is exactly why I’m pro Biden

At least he’s not calling for an end to oil exports on day one in office and calling for 20% of all corporations to go to employees.

Bernie being allowed to preach his nonsense only moves his crazy policies closer to reality.

I’ve been saying this all along, is far too dangerous. Even if you think you’ll win don’t roll that dice

Bernie nomination will split up the Democratic Party and do more damage to itself than Trump will.

If you're this worried about Bernie then the country is already lost. Might as well get this out of the way.

It sucks but Bloom the billionaire is the lesser of all evils. That said I’d vote Libertarian before him.

You want Bernie to run strong, and then get cheated at the end. The Dems would be a mess at that point.

In a crazy world, maybe he goes 3rd party.

Once again, you're wrong. For 2 reasons:

1) Bernie would "max out" at somewhere between 40-45% of the vote in a General election. Do you know what that would mean in Electoral College terms?

2) Bernie doesn't even have to win the nomination. He just has to do well enough to force the Democrat Establishment to take it away from him. If that happens, the Democrat Party convention in Milwaukee will explode.

Ever seen any footage of the 1968 Democrat Party convention?

It really doesn't matter. No Dem candidate is electable for moderate American voters. Bernie is WAY too left. Klobuchar slightly less, but still unelectable. Warren is just a fricking kook. Boo da judge is gay, so blacks won't vote for him, and Biden looks like he's about to keel over, plus muh Ukraine, so not electable.

The election is already over. Crown the Orange Man.

I agree with this, we should not normalize his policies that are so opposite of American culture.
