Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Is in Trouble [View all]MontanaFarmer
(630 posts)9. His strategy nor his tactics
have changed since 2016. Other folks have co-opted some of his strongest points (income inequality, rigged system, health care) and are making their own hay with them. That's to his credit, to a degree, for elevating those issues, but he's never been a particularly good candidate for president and was never going to actually BE president, IMO. I wish we could package up the good stuff from Bernie (because there is some) and repurpose it into someone with more political talent, more mainstream appeal, less rough edges. Oh, wait, that candidate exists and she's on the rise...

LOL! So, you're saying that he doesn't actually want to be our party's nominee?

Well, he certainly won't be our party's nominee. Thanks for clarifying that's what you want.

I think Bernie's ultimate goal is to take the Democratic party down and rebuild it in his image.
