In reply to the discussion: As a Bernie Supporter I think Biden will lose to Trump if he continues to do these steps [View all]thucythucy
(8,048 posts)to pass this wonderful solution to all our problems, it's difficult to see how voters not already in our camp will be persuaded.
As others have pointed out (many times now) if Medicare for All was such a winning slogan, Bernie would have won and you wouldn't be here lecturing people on what Biden has to do to win you over.
BTW, Biden did very well in his debate one on one with Bernie. Indeed, I was not impressed with Bernie's performance in any of the debates. He came off to me like a lefty Bret Kavinaugh, all whiny and entitled.
I originally supported Elizabeth Warren. I think she would have done far better if Bernie had dropped out as soon as she announced. She has better ideas and an actual record of accomplishment in getting her ideas passed. And as a debater? Did you see the way she dismantled Bloomberg? Put her on the same stage with Trump and his head would explode.
Bernie did the progressive cause a real disservice by staying in and hoarding the attention that should have gone to Senator Warren. And his surrogates didn't help matters by attacking her the way they did.
Odd that nobody is posting suggestions for what Bernie has to do to win over voters, considering how he's losing and all.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
