Iwhat if they nominate Sanders? Would you support him? 1. Nominating him does not make the Democrats Socialists
2.I am a Socialist and thou Sanders is only Quasi Socialist i'll take him or over more corporate Dems like Biden or The Neo Liberals like Buttigieg

Bernie's a democratic socialist/social democrat. So he fits reasonably well in a democratic party. It's the centrist corporatists like Bloomberg that don't fit in a democratic party. If we're only going to get two viable parties, then he fits more in the one he caucuses in, than the one he doesn't. Although it would be nice if we had more than two parties. Or if both parties weren't run by people who take money from the same donors. I'm sure that Sanders would just start a third party, and call it the People's Party, if it wasn't a certainty that both democrats and republicans would run it into the ground like they do the Green and Libertarian parties. He just figures trying to fix the democratic party will be easier than starting his own. I just hope he realizes that warren and Biden are not his friends, despite what he says.

Okay. Would you vote for Bloomberg if he was the nominee? Can't get more capitalistic than he.

Biggest by how much exactly?
The Democratic Party, as an entity, hate that they have an actual left wing to them now, but enough people vote for them that they need to deal with it.

That they do. They don't want the left version of a Tea Party.

I'd vote for a candidate whose platform is promising to throw me into an active volcano over the wannabe king orange turd blossom that stumbled his way into the office currently.

I reckon the only improvement in a Bloomberg government will be that the racism will be better disguised. He's running on a ticket of 'to beat the republitraitors, we must become republitraitors!"
And if he truly want to stop Dumbfuck, he'd have primaried against him.

I think Bernie Sanders is a nut and that his supporters are even nuttier. But I'm not even bothered by the fact that he's the front-runner for the democratic nomination. All I care about is removing Trump.
I ordered two of the stickers for my truck.
Mild Social Democracy (the political philosophy most of Europe is running very successfully under) is nutty now?
