Last Night

Because Sanders could never win a general election for president. Biden could, and did.
Bernie would have won in 2016. He gets more votes than Clinton in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and keeps all the states Clinton won. That's the ballgame. But the Democratic party made sure that he didn't get the chance.

If you have any doubts about this, refer to this crowd Sanders attracted last night in one of the swing states Clinton and Harris lost, in March of an off year.

GM

Do you think professional sport coaches and managers don't know how to evaluate talent? Or Rick Pitino to name one prominent college coach.

Yet, every pro sports team employs a GM type to run operations. SJU has a GM. Maybe the idea is to let the coach focus on coaching while someone else handles the business side.
The business side has nothing to do with coaching. They both take place in opposite sides of the year.

How’s Mike McBride working out? I bet he wears nice suits.

The Majority of the Democrats Party has always been centrist. This goes through Biden and even Harris. The problem with the Democratic Party is that the loudest and most social media savvy politicians happen to be far left. The far left is the biggest problem that the Dems have. They abandoned Hilary Clinton in 2016 and voted for Jill Stein. Florida was lost and hence the election was lost to those people who voted for Jill Stein. The far left did not come out for Harris as well. But Harris lost more so because she was a bad candidate.

The right wing media has done an amazing job labeling all Dems left wing radical nuts. That’s a fallacy. But Dems got caught up in cancel culture ie Al Frankin being a victim of it. The Dems need to reclaim their identity.
But it is time that Schumer steps down and they need a younger more charismatic pols.
Shapiro, Newsome, Beshear are all going to be good candidates for 2028
Don't see hw you could call either Biden or Harris centrist. The last four years were run from the radical left and both seemed to be OK with it. I think that history will bear out that the two of them, were the worst Pres / VP combo in history. And history will label them left wng radicals based on the policies they favored.
You say the righ wing media labels all dems leftwing loonies...... but that's the only thing that the left wing media reports on and makes excuses for. They take unpopular policies and make them seem normal.

it’s on the twitter so it’s got to be true lol. I don’t see it one bit. Stop believing stupid polls. Harris is going to win Iowa. Lot of things out there are at odds with reality.
And I don't think you can base that Bernie is the most popular candidate among moderates. Who the hell is Jeremy Levin to be so authoritative?
Addressing your skepticism. Please see below poll, conducted last month. Refer to page 9.


Gary Johnson and Jill Stein took enough votes away from Hillary in Florida to lose. https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_election_in_Florida,_2016
Respectfully, it is a major stretch to think that people who voted for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, were going to vote for Hillary Clinton if Johnson wasn't on the ballot. If you assume Hillary Clinton gets every Jill Stein vote (which is also a stretch), she would have needed almost 50,000 Johnson voters.

It's much more likely these voters, if they didn't have Johnson to vote for, would have held their nose and voted for Trump, or simply stayed home entirely. Stein voters likely would have abstained from voting, too. This was a major conclusion of the analysis I posted earlier.

Hypothetically, even if we jump to this major conclusion that Stein (and Johnson) cost Hillary Clinton Florida and the rest of the 2016 electoral map stayed the same, Hillary Clinton would have still lost the electoral college 275 to 256.
