Reply to comment by the_ricktacular_mort in Why has NH gone more to left theses days? by BoringAccountName78

Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in America. Medicare for All is supported by a majority of Republican voters. If Democrats focused on kitchen table issues and dropped the woke BS like Bernie's campaign tried to do, they'd likely have a supermajority right about now. Democrats dominated American politics for 40 years when they were the party supporting expansion of the New Deal.

These corporate shills like Hassan, who want you to own nothing and be happy, are the reason Republicans even have a snowball's chance in hell of being elected. Missouri just voted to legalize cannabis. Kentucky just voted to uphold abortion rights. The GOP platform is wildly unpopular. America is not a conservative country.

The problem is, Democrats are controlled opposition and America is a flawed democracy. Opposing fascism is somewhat popular, I guess, but ~50% is weak AF compared to the 70% approval of Bernie Sanders' main policy ideas.

Idk what fantasy land you're living in, but whenever you feel like returning to reality, there's an open seat.

I agree that the socially conservative aspects of the republican party are deeply unpopular, but Bernie is wayyyyy further left than most people are comfortable with.

Bernie as a private citizen is a democratic socialist. I agree, that's a lot further left than this country would support.

Bernie as a senator is a social democrat, and the policy ideas he put forth are wildly popular.
