Centrist Denocrats: would you vote for Bernie in the General Election?

If he wins the Primary or someone else who is not your first choice, would you vote for him ahead of you know who.

I think this country could do well with a centrist Democrat. A centrist Republican, for that matter. However, I'm not sure Sanders is the candidate of choice. He's taken on this 'really cool Grandpa' air, but the fact is his 40 plus years in government have yielded very little and his plans now are thin on realistic ways to make them happen.

@Graylight I really dont think the plans and direction matter, since the House and senate will obstruct according to their agenda. The important part is to get a president who will stop actively harming America at home and abroad.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@whowasthatmaskedman Amen to that. If a koala ran for president, it would have my vote at this point.

Though it would have to prove citizenship, I suppose.

@whowasthatmaskedman We already did that in 2016

@sunsporter1649 No. You didnt. Public opinion locally and globally and the economic numbers globally back me up.

@whowasthatmaskedman President Hillary is in office?

@sunsporter1649 I have stated before that America didnt have a good option this time. She would have done no more good.. But a lot less harm as it turns out.

@Graylight let's be honest about your criticism none of the candidates have realistic ways to make their plans happen short of us completely defeating the republicans and wiping them out so bad they lack the required 41 seats in the senate to mount a filibuster.

The Republicans and especially their elected officials see all democrats including the base as mutant freaks who are subhuman mongrels fit only for being slaughtered/killed and pure evil.

you act as if bernie is unique in being unrealistic. Mitch intends to filibuster everything if we take the senate. He's already on the record saying that that is his intent.

just like they did the last time around. Unless the democrats have their Balrog to knock gandalf off the platform to his death as he screams "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" (I'm being metaphorical) we have no hope of passing any legislation at all regardless of who we as a party Nominate.

if you believe ANY of the candidates or a Centrist democrat could get their agenda through I have a Bridge i'd like to sell you.

@whowasthatmaskedman Yeah, President Trump sure pissed off the goddamndemocrats by defeating the Chosen One

@sunsporter1649 I give you the win. Just dont push it. She was a terrible candidate with an awful campaign. A lot of democrats stayed home. Thats not happening this time just to get Trump out..
