it looks like fascist tendencies exist everywhere and arise when the left doesn't provide a compelling alternative vision

electability aside
I see Warren as someone who's coming from a very pro-capitalist angle, but wants to square the table again where as Bernie formed at least part of his philosophy from living on a Kibbutz and (I suspect) is more sympathetic to post-capitalist ideologies the difference in policy ends up being small and I think Warren is great, Bernie thinks Warren is great but I have more faith in Bernie not compromising on Medicare for All, Living Wage, Free College, Green New Deal etc. because he's so ideological and has spent the majority of his life pushing versions of these things at this point I would put his voting record up against any politician in the country for sure |

The wealth tax is much more of a revolutionary idea to fund things than anything Bernie has ever offered.

To clarify I don’t think everything needs a pay for provision, but from a political standpoint it’s easier to say I will do x and this is how I will fund it than to just say I’m gonna do x
You know |

I think electability is more important than the minor policy and career trajectory differences between the two most left-leaning candidates. we should be thinking about it in terms of how Bernie and Warren can influence the platform and style of a more electable ultimate nominee. And how they can support that person.
I just don’t see either winning. Or being the best candidate to beat Trump, who has a good chance of being reelected. |

I don't think the more establishment candidates are necessarily more electable right now
maybe Biden? |

he's a capitalist for sure
but he's more sympathetic to socialist ideas being that he's more from the 60's hippy left era |

though I do dislike that he referred to himself as a Democratic Socialist because he's clearly not that
and now it's caught on with like AOC who misused it too more like social democrat |

were all capitalists. there is no american that is not a capitalist. the term capitalist is not useful.
also all potential presidential candidates should be constitutionally required to release tit and/or dick pics |

I feel like capitalist and socialist are not necessarily mutually exclusive? Is that wrong?

cramming it through with a Democratic majority is the only way anyone is getting anything done beyond executive orders as far as I see it I suppose it could leave a lot of potential democratic voters dejected for years if Democrats never get a supermajority and Bernie can't deliver he's already authored, for example, a Medicare for All Bill as far as how the policies are meant to work |

Most voters are dilettantes and will be voting for a candidate based solely off of name recognition. My hopeless expectation is Joe Biden. Same reason we got stuck with Hillary Clinton. At least people like Bernie Sanders moved the party forward.
But Bernie’s time passed. I’m not sure he’s still the best candidate. Being able to win is a leadership quality and an important part of a candidate’s value. If he didn’t beat Hillary Clinton, he doesn’t have enough mass appeal to beat Trump. |

I don't think Biden is going to win the primary. Old dems are attracted to his aura of normality and the promise of a "return to normal," but once he's forced out of hiding and onto the stump everyone will be quickly reminded what a clueless and bizarre public speaker/figure he is. He got crushed the two other times he ran for a reason. Except now he's like three hundred years old to boot.
