I mean, look. I was on both of Bernie’s campaigns. I put in thousands of calls for the guy. But brother, Its a pipe dream. Bernie polls 20-25 points ahead of both Trump and Biden. It wouldn’t be a W, it would be a Blue version of this map. Bernie would CRUSH Trump.
But its not going to happen. The DNC would rather lose to Trump than ever consider a genuine socialist. I would LOVE to be wrong on this, but its not going to happen.
Honestly, we could probably get Katie Porter through the wickets. We could probably get Gretchen Witmer through. I think we could get Inslee in. I’d put each of these at less that 20% stand alone probability.
Honestly, the best bet, the one I think has both the highest probability of getting the nom, and can actually win:
Andy Beshear
He’s a somewhat progressive southern > two term < Democratic governor.
He’s won Kentucky. Twice. Hes “a bit” progressive, but not a Bernie or a Ro Khanna.
You know who else was a two term, southern, slightly progressive governor?
Bill Clinton.
I’ll bet Bernie with my heart. I bet its going to be Andy Beshear with my wallet.
Its fine. We’ll have a new slate of candidates in a couple weeks.
Bernie/Ro Khanna can still happen.
Either one of them in the President slot, either one of them in the VP slot.
They will win all day.

Jesus Christ.
Bernie would crush Jesus too.
