Glad to be here

I am new here though I read a lot in 2016. I have been glad to see less acrimony this time. I am glad to see Joe Biden really get going and to see everybody getting excited about him. I am starting to visualize President Biden in office. I am a moderate but I am sending out the love to the left too. We're all dems that love our country!

Yes that was my first election though I was just a little too young to vote . When I made the name I was thinking about Bernie losing to Trump.

We are a lot more partisan than we were in the 1970s. 2020 demographics are strongly in Sanders favor when it comes to young and Latino voters.

--------

Bernie Sanders Can Beat Trump. Here’s the Math.
Most available evidence points in the direction of a popular vote and Electoral College victory.

Also Trump isn't a moderate like Nixon. Nixon proposed Obama care as a counter to Universal health care. Nixon also formed the EPA. Trump was a reality game show host for chrissakes.

I dont want to have the name annoy you. Let's dedicate it to not losing and don't think of it as being against any particular candidate. We're all pretty awesome. I understand and appreciate the enthusiasm and excitement he has brought. I have to keep this brief because it should be in the primary forum. I should write a post over there. Go Dems!

If you just hold it until November you'll be as full of it as Trump's gang.
