Squeeze, don't push this so hard.
There are guys like Jalimon who have left a trail of debauchery on the internet and then there are guys who just show up for political advocacy.
)In June of 2016, Sanders was up as much as 10.5% over Trump, Clinton was even at best..I did a quick perusal of Sanders vs. Trump and Realclearpolitics had Sanders up 4% in April, 2020 with an aggregation of polls. It sounds like a lot until you realize Biden won the election with 4.5% margin nationally.
What's interesting is Biden was polling much higher than 4.5% in October, 2020.
So would have Sanders' April polling margin of 4% shrink on the actual Election Day? Was Sanders really that well-known to voters in the Spring of 2020? I maintain that outside Democratic voters who are very engaged Sanders is not well-known.
So it might be an overstatement to say that Sanders was crushing Trump. In actuality, Biden was "crushing" Trump in polling as late as October and up until Election Day.

My bad. I reverted to Sanders vs. Biden in 2020.
He took on corn pop - who did Trump ever beat up who wasn't a woman ?
It's actually not conjecture at all, maybe reasonable speculation.
Have you noticed Trump slurs his words, mixes up names of places and people and is as dumb as a stump before the debate?
Do you believe if Gavin or Whitmer had stood up and said I'm throwing my hat into the ring for the nomination anything would have stopped that train from rolling through the Democratic party like a rolling thunder?
You are deflecting. Do you think Biden had noticable cognitive decline before the debate?
No, I don't think Gavin or Whitmer could stop the Kamala train. The Democratic leadership would have to set up a process leading into the convention. There have been lots of ideas thrown around by pundits.
Fair enough.
2016 was Sanders first campaign nationally. I don't think you can get a really good read on Sanders' general election potential from just running in the Democratic primary. The Presidential General Election is notoriously more confrontational on all levels. Sanders' fondness for the Soviet Union and Cuba would be on American TV screens every day. Even a straightforward issue as Sanders' Medicare for All is not popular with Americans.
"A 57% majority of U.S. adults believe that the federal government should ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage. Yet nearly as many, 53%, prefer that the U.S. healthcare system be based on private insurance rather than run by the government. These findings are in line with recent attitudes about the government’s involvement in the healthcare system, which have been relatively steady since 2015."About 7 in 10 Voters Favor a Public Health Insurance Option
A new survey shows more than half of voters are in favor of either a “Medicare for All” single-payer plan or a public health insurance optionpro.morningconsult.com
It remains consistently above in approval. And ask most seniors about Medicare itself. It would absolutely draw in independents and I suspect many single issue voters to come out.

In other words they need to be better educated on it. I've seen the rhetoric and had this conversation with many Americans. Most have no idea how it can work."A 57% majority of U.S. adults believe that the federal government should ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage. Yet nearly as many, 53%, prefer that the U.S. healthcare system be based on private insurance rather than run by the government.

It might be one of those issues that doesn't gain any new support for Democrats, but rather it's an issue that could alienate many.
Majority in U.S. Still Say Gov't Should Ensure Healthcare
A majority of U.S. adults continue to think the federal government should ensure universal healthcare coverage, while they also prefer that the U.S. healthcare system be based on private insurance rather than government-run.
If you read my earlier posts I always maintained Biden is to old and was hoping for Gavin. My exact words have always been both are past their prime and should be enjoying their golden years .
Anytime someone tells me voters don't understand or need to be educated, I get very leery. There's a tinge of elitism. I've seen the light. They need to see the light.
Then you realize that the Demicratic leadership has been lying yo the American people right? What is the bigger cover up? Fucking a pornstar? Or that the President IN OFFICE is incapable of doing the job?
