What if POC act like Bernie supporters

and say they won't vote for Bernie because of principles. Do you think Bernie can win in the GE without the POC's vote?

Do you have anything else to do? I have been here 12 years and have about 4.000 posts and most of those are in sports.

new deal and Reaganism

All movements die. I constantly hear this pining for FDR. The FDR coalition had run its course. It was dying in 1976 and the only reason why Carter won was because of Watergate. By 1980 it was DOA. We got slaughtered in 80,84 and 88.

Reaganism is dying and may be DOA right now. The republicans are trying one last time but I think Trump is drowning it in a bathtub.

Is is possible that democratic socialism is the next movement. It may be but Bernie will not lead it. Someone young has too. Someone who can speak to youth and is not 75 years old. Bernie may be the start but someone new and youthful must emerge to take it over.
