    Bernie could actually get republican voters

    nah, not buying that one. Never seen ANY inclination for them to call him anything but a dirty socialist.

    People continuingly act like 1/3 of the country just doesn’t vote.

    do you have any data that suggests overwise?

    We saw in 08 with Obama they’ll show up for a Dem running a populist campaign,

    63.6% turnout. Less white votes, more minority votes than 2000 or even 2004

    Neoliberalism isn’t popular enough to win elections

    This we can ardently agree on.

      They call all Democrats dirty socialists already. If you start running somebody with popular policies it’ll be harder to boogie man them away.
