The two progressive lawmakers have addressed massive crowds in solidly red states including Idaho and Utah in recent days, as party of the national Fighting Oligarchy Tour.

A survey taken by Harvard's Center for American Political Studies and Harris between April 9-10 found that 72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), "who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and 'fight harder'," rather than leaders who are willing to "compromise" with President Donald Trump.

Bernie can’t be the nominee because if he were to win and subsequently fail and not deliver - exactly what the democrats want and would ensure - they could not march him out to smother the anger again in the next election cycle.

For what purpose, because when they do this they lose anyway.

Your reasoning is just, "they can't risk losing after they win, so they're just going to lose in the first place instead". "Democrats can't risk losing their losing strategy". Your reasoning is nonsensical.

Did you not realize that she actually doesn’t answer question but talks gobbledygook around them?

Kamala is very articulate and laid out some very specific details of plans. She pivoted to "politically correct" when it came to culturally contentious topics like trans rights, which I don't love, but at least Walz stood on business on trans rights.

To say Kamala spoke "gobbledygook" is objectively false, right wing propoganda.

You verbatim speak like a right wing troll hyped up on low effort propoganda spreading horizontal hostility.
