With Bernie as the nominee, lots of down ballot candidates will have to run against him

[Moderateguy]

People need to realize and acknowledge this fact. A lot of down-ballot candidates in multiple states will have to run against Bernie, in addition, to their republicans opponent. This will be unavoidable. The unity among democrats will be an illusion at best. We might not be able to be on the same page about a lot of things, but we need to be on the same page about this.

1. This is why I'm worried about the House...

And the Republicans gaining in the Senate.

2. It is not difficult to run on improved health care, better wages and a greener climate.

Have you read his policies and positions?

4. Same things the squad ran on!!!!

6. Sanders will be a burden here in NC

Yes, I've read his policies. Don't condescend. Even voted for Bernie in 2016. I believe and fear that Bernie will hurt down ballot races in NC. Possibly keep us from unseating Tillis from Senate. That sort of thing.

I hope I am wrong, but good surprises are really, really rare for NC progressives.

8. It is when the voters you need to win..

Do not give a toss about climate change

Have been brain washed into thinking that health-care and a livable way are NOT basic human rights but a REWARD for working "hard"

[LonePirate]

12. Perhaps we are better off without such stupid, selfish cretins in our party. They are a lost cause.

[Moderateguy]

14. We need the voters you call "stupid, selfish cretins" to WIN

[LonePirate]

15. We do not need them to win and we do not need to compromise our values to win, either.

[W_HAMILTON]

13. All of our candidates are running on that.

What they aren't running on are the same sorts of policies that got Sanders-backed candidates shellacked in 2018.

3. Wake up to reality Democrats. We can't afford to gamble on a revolution.

Not at this time.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. I agree. The most important thing is taking the Presidency from Trump.

Hopefully we can keep the House and maybe take back the Senate. Only then can we make an impact on policy.

5. They should be replaced by revolutionaries beforehand to prevent such blasphemy

[totodeinhere]

9. That is a decision that they would have to make, but I think in most cases they would be

better off sticking with the top of the ticket.

[Moderateguy]

11. I am glad to see you understand this...

In a lot of cases it will not be possible to "stick" with the top of the ticket if you want a chance to win. That is just the way the cookie crumbles

[yaesu]

10. Doing the right thing for We The People is all we need to worry about
