(11,088 posts)For instance, AOC is admired not just by the far left but by a broad swath of democrats who want to se their partt have a backbone on major issues. Her endorsing Sanders will likely give Sanders a boost more than anybody else.

(24,121 posts)over moderate incrementalism. Clearly Bernie and/or Elizabeth, with their forward-looking agendas, have the best chance of defeating tRumpy, especially in the midwest, where people are not looking for a return to the status quo from which they revolted in the last presidential election.
Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
