USA TODAY: Face Facts, Bernie Sanders Is Electable

I've seen enough negativity on DU after Sander's win in Nevada to force me to sprain all twelve fingers transfering links from reputable news sources into this near-frenzied forum (I'm being colorful, friends. It's going to be OK)

USA TODAY 🇺🇸

Face facts, Bernie Sanders is electable

It’s well past time to bury the 'Bernie is unelectable' trope. He has a better shot than moderate Bloomberg.

The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech, published by a RWNJ vanity press, has an opinion about the Democratic Party that I care about?? Nope.

Because... drum roll please... Trump was considered unelectable too!

No other attempt to argue anything about the prospects of Sanders vs Trump in her long article.

Sure... I am so convinced!
